People who stutter have few opportunities to meet others and discuss their challenges openly. Most lack information about the professional help that is available and how to determine which approach to stuttering treatment is best for them. They need emotional support and encouragement from others who understand what they're going through. Stuttering self-help groups rely on professional specialists for advice. Groups can also be a valuable source of information for clinicians who have limited experience in dealing with stuttering and wish to expand their knowledge.
Meetings allow persons who stutter to practice speaking in an informal, non-threatening environment.
Members exchange information on stuttering and its treatment and compare experiences. 15900 S. Cicero Ave.
