Among the usual topic areas for stuttering (stuttering, treatments, venting), two which caught my interest are Skype Sessions and Success Stories. I love the success stories. Great idea! And so are the skype sessions [...]

The article, Stutter Couldn’t Block His Dream, is about the graduation of a stutterer from the New Haven Police Academy. Plus, he has a black belt in karate. Gotta have more cops like that!

It’s a great read because you can feel the tremendous awesomeness he is feeling about coming to terms with his stuttering and reaping the awards from accepting it. What I like best is all [...]

THIS is living proof that talent always outshines ANY incorrect impression other people have. This is why it’s important NOT to allow your stuttering to keep you down. I can’t stress that enough. I’ve met too many stutterers who insist on being kept hidden and beaten by their stuttering. Life’s too short, my friends.
