Clinicians at the Stuttering Center of Western Pennsylvania work closely with support groups to help clients achieve their greatest possible success, both inside and outside of therapy. Organizations such as the National Stuttering Association and others listed below can be extremely beneficial in helping children who stutter and their parents or adults who stutter meet others who have shared similar experiences. Support groups can also help educate people about stuttering through reading materials, videotapes, posters, etc.
Following is information about support organizations dedicated to helping people who stutter, their families, and their clinicians. Many of these organizations offer memberships that include newsletters that provide the most current information on stuttering. It is important to remember that any information you obtain from any source should be discussed with a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist.
