Stuttering Resources
Friends Who Stutter
Friends is a national organization created to provide a network of love and support for children and teens who stutter, their families, and the professionals who work with them. Visit their website for specific information regarding groups, events, and resources for stuttering.
International Cluttering Association
The International Cluttering Association was founded in 2007. Since then, membership has grown to represent over 30 nations. This association is a resource for people who clutter as well as professionals who assess and treat PWC. Though a relatively ‘young website,’ consumers, their families, and professionals can obtain information from the website itself as well as from chairs of the various subcommittees. The book, CLUTTERING: A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE (Myers, F. and St. Louis, K., Eds) can be freely downloaded. All are welcome to join ICA; no membership fee is required at present.
The National Stuttering Association
The National Stuttering Association (NSA) is the largest non-profit organization in the world dedicated to bringing hope and empowerment to children and adults who stutter, their families, and professionals, through support, education, advocacy, and research. Our vision is to build on our position as the preeminent organization for supporting people who stutter.
