The NSA provides local stuttering support groups across the United States, including an extensive network of chapter support groups across the United States. Research has shown that stuttering support groups are a proven way to build self-confidence, practice speaking in a safe environment, socialize with others, explore new ways to cope with stuttering, and, perhaps most importantly, assist others in achieving their goals.
NSA Adult Chapters are designed for adults who stutter (ages 18+), parents, significant others, friends of stutterers, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs).
