Looking to get - or stay - connected with the stuttering community? You’ve come to the right place!
​
There is a variety of ways that the NSA® can guide you in your quest to communicate more easily and effectively and connect you with supportive resources. Here are just a few:
Information
Knowledge is key! Understanding what is fact when it comes to stuttering versus common myths about stuttering is a great first step to knowing what is happening during a stutter. Our website contains general information about stuttering as well as specific reports and surveys in the Stuttering Information section. Our Stuttering Resources sections offers a range of free, printable brochures for people who stutter of all ages, as well as those for various key players in their support team. Also check out our fun NSA Online Store, stocked with brochures and helpful books.
Local Support Groups
The National Stuttering Association’s® motto, “If You Stutter, You Are Not Alone®,” is what our local support groups are all about! For many, NSA chapter meetings are the first time they have ever talked about stuttering with other people who stutter. Local support groups are a proven way to build self-confidence, practice speaking in a safe environment and explore new ways to cope with stuttering.
​
Visit our easy-to-use directory to find the Local NSA Chapter nearest/most convenient to you. No chapter nearby? Contact us and we can connect you with a virtual group or walk you through the process of starting a chapter in your area!
Annual Conference & Regional Events
The hottest event in the stuttering community each year is the NSA Annual Conference; you do not want to miss it! Along with our smaller, regional events, these opportunities bring the larger stuttering community together to share information, offer support, and build strength. This is what the NSA is all about!
​
Visit the Annual Conference section of our website for more information on Conferences both past and upcoming, and our Upcoming Events Calendar to find a regional event near you!
Social Media
The NSA’s social media offers great places for you to meet others from the convenience of your computer or mobile device. Including an active presence on major social media platforms, as well as moderated Facebook Groups and Instagram feeds for specific demographics, social media is a great way ask questions, learn the latest in stuttering info, find a nearby NSA event, talk through tough issues, or just connect with others who know how you feel.
Mailing List
Signing up to receive our emails will ensure that you stay connected to the latest information and events in the stuttering community. And rest assured, we will never sell or rent your information, and we only send 1-2 emails per week at most.
Financial Contribution
The NSA is a non-profit organization, which means that our very existence depends upon financial support from our members and other sources. No donation is too small, and we have several options to make donating as simple as possible. Make your tax-deductible donation to the NSA today!
Therapy
While we don't offer speech therapy or therapist referrals directly, we can certainly help to point you in the right direction! Ideally you will want to seek the guidance of a Stuttering Specialist, a speech-language pathologist who has been recognized by the American Board of Fluency and Fluency Disorders (ABFFD) as having achieved advanced training and clinical skill for working with people who stutter and their families. A directory of these Board-Certified Specialists in Fluency Disorders (BCS-F) can be found on the ABFFD website. If there is not one in your area, we might be able to connect you with one who is working toward this specialty.
