Welcome to the Naperville Chapter of the National Stutterting Association!
In an effort to provide a little background about the National Stuttering Association and local chapters such as ours, here is an excerpt from the NSA website: For adults who stutter, achieving better communication and coping with stuttering may be a lifelong process. Therapy helps many people who stutter modify their speech, yet maintenance of fluency may require continuous management. There are many ways the NSA can help you in your quest to communicate more easily and more effectively. Local NSA chapters provide a safe, supportive peer counseling environment that can help you improve your overall communication and coping skills -- as well as your overall quality of life. The NSA also has numerous publications, such as our monthly newsletter, that can help you learn more about stuttering and see that many others just like you have achieved success even though they stutter. You will also want to take advantage of our local workshops and annual conference. These events bring people who stutter together to share information, support, and strength so that everybody can achieve their goals for their speech and in their lives in general. Truly, this is what the NSA is all about. Finally, for those interested in seeking speech therapy, the NSA can also help you locate a specialist clinician in your area. You can overcome the challenges you face because of your stuttering. The NSA is here to help -- If you stutter, you are not alone! |
