A new book about stuttering, from our very own David Alpuche, is out now! The book answers the most common questions we are asked as people who stutter, with input from people from all over the world.

Read about it below and get your copy on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Bookshop.org!

David Alpuche is no stranger to the stuttering community. Now, he's bringing a lifetime of insights (with collaboration from the stuttering community worldwide) with his new book, “1000 Answers: What Everyone Should Know About Stuttering.” What started as a simple list of student questions during panels at the NSA Dallas Chapter has become a powerful resource for people who stutter of all ages.

“Whether you’re a person who stutters or a professional working with us, I hope this book helps you feel more knowledgeable and prepared to take on whatever challenges come your way.”
