Which forum to join?
I have signed up as a member for 4 forums which are started by remarkable people who have made great impacts in the lives of many PWS spread across numerous countries.
I have benfitted in various ways from these forums, reading posts by members who are PWS themselves, speech-pathologists, students in the field of speech pathology, parents with children who stutter and so on.
A bit of education here for readers who have no idea what PWS is. PWS stands for person who stutter. I have come across or read about PWS who are attorneys, managing directors, bosses of their own multi-national companies, hournalists, news anchors and so on. Despite having stuttering as a challenge, they are very successful in careers where speaking is a daily necessity.
The links to the online support forums are listed on the Right Side-bar under “Online Support”.
Below I will give you a brief summary of the description which I have cut and pasted from the forums homepage.
Go their forums’ homepage to read more so that you can have a better understanding of which you suit you best. You can join all if you want. There is no stopping you from achieving your goal of overcoming stuttering - which may be a life-long process of relapse and recovery…based on my experience.
