As a person who stutters, it is always good to see how many people have overcome their stuttering. Many do overcome it, or find that they stutter less over time. I love Jim Davis' comic strips and like him even more now that I know he was once a stutterer too.Thank you for writing such a great article!
I serve on the Board of Directors of The National Stuttering Association (NSA - www.westutter.org), which is the largest self-help non-profit organization for people who stutter in the country. The NSA offers several programs which provides the opportunity for people who stutter to meet and interact with other people who stutter at local children and adult chapter meetings, workshops and annual conferences in which over 600 people who stutter attend each year! This year we are celebrating our 33rd Anniversary!
Conferences in recent years have included such keynote speakers as Vice President Joe Biden, Arthur Blank (Owner, Atlanta Falcons), Adrian Peterson (Chicago Bears), Annie Glenn, John Melendez and John Stossel. They all shared truly amazing stories.
