You’ve graduated high school…now what? You may be going to college or maybe starting a new job. You might move out of your parent’s house or may be hitting the road to do some traveling. But what about stuttering? How will it affect the choices you make? Will you allow it to hold you back from what you really want to accomplish?

Stuttering is a part of who you are, but it should not dictate the decisions you make for your future as a young adult. The NSA® has resources, written by college students and young adults, to help you best navigate this stage in your life.
