Through our extensive network of local chapters, the NSA provides community, empowerment and education for people who stutter.
In addition to providing local support groups and organizing an annual conference, the NSA is dedicated to educating the public through various initiatives while actively supporting research endeavors aimed at advancing our understanding of stuttering.
We provide continued support, conferences, and top-tier resources to all members of the stuttering community – people who stutter, professionals, and families. We also continue to advocate for better understanding of stuttering and the needs of PWS, and serve as a referral organization for speech therapy resources when desired.
The NSA provides funding for one research project annually in the area of stuttering treatment, stuttering assessment, or basic research in stuttering, with the intent of being used as start-up or support money for new or continuing research in the field of stuttering.
NSA Chapters are powerful spaces where people who stutter can connect directly with the stuttering community. People who stutter experience the life-changing power of attending a chapter where they can share their stories, bond with fellow people who stutter and allies, and embrace the support of our ever-growing community.
