St. Louis Chapter of the NSA

St. Louis Chapter of the NSA The NSA is a support group for people who stutter.

"The NSA provides support, friendship, and information to the stuttering community, instilling the sense of self-worth so often missing in the lives of those who battle this disorder. With members nationwide and over 100 self-help support groups in the United states, the NSA provides information about stuttering, increases public awareness of stuttering, serves as a support and advocacy group, and

is a referral organization for speech therapy sources throughout the United States. Our support groups provide attendees with the opportunity to share fears, frustrations, and triumphs; practice therapeutic techniques to help control stuttering in a safe and supportive environment; engage in speaking experiences they might shy away from in their daily lives; and, perhaps most importantly, assist others in achieving these goals." -NSA website

Just a friendly reminder that tonight is our June NSA meeting, and our first meeting at the Welcome Center on the campus of Fontebonne University. Fontebonne is located at 6800 Wydown, right there at the corner of Wydown and Big Bend Blvd. We will meet in the Welcome Center, which is on the first floor of the East Building. For tonight, I have made special arrangements with security and we can park anywhere on campus, other than handicapped spots or those reserved for the Dean and such, and we will not be ticketed. I will have a form to fill out so we can get a parking pass good for the rest of the year, that we have to put on our cars. If you can't make this meeting, but you are able to come to a future meeting, no worries. I have some temporary parking passes that I will give you that night. You will just have to run it back to your car so you don't get ticketed.

Our meeting will begin at 6:30 and will go until 8 - 8:30 pm. Please let me know if you are able to attend, so I can make sure I have enough refreshments for everyone.

I hope to see everyone tonight!

I have some exciting news to share. I have been working with a professor at Fontbonne Univerity, and she has helped us acquire some space on campus for our meetings! Fontbonne is centrally located on the corner of Big Bend Blvd and Wydown. Our meetings will now meet every third Monday of the month in the Welcome Center in the East Building right on Fontbonne's campus. The Welcome Center is located on the first floor, and is has a very informal, comfortable, living room type feel to it. It will be a great place to have our meetings!

I’ve been a stutterer for as long as I can remember. Well, I actually began stuttering when I was eight years old, but I honestly can’t remember what my speech was like the years before, in my fluent days. The National Stuttering Association defines stuttering as a “communication disorder involving

Good afternoon everyone,

Our next meeting is June 27th and we thought we might step out of our comfort zones for this one! During our last meeting Mark mentioned his participation in an organization called Toastmasters, an organization devoted to helping its members improve their communication, public speaking, and leadership skills. A number of people who stutter have benefited from Toastmasters as it provides a safe environment to practice speech tools and public speaking. A couple of us has shown interest in the organization but have never worked up to courage to check it out. Well, no worries! Mark has invited all of us to sit in and observe their next meeting! Conveniently, their next meeting falls on the same date and time as our next meeting, June 27th at 6:30 pm. This is a great opportunity for all of us who dread public speaking to learn more about the organization and decide whether we would benefit from attending future meetings. Let us know if you are interested in joining us on our adventurous outing to the Toastmasters meeting! I have attached links with more information and feel free to email if you have any questions.
