November Meeting Recap

This past Tuesday, November 13th, the NC Triad chapter of the National Stuttering Association held its third meeting. Seven people (2 chapter leaders, 3 people who stutter, 1 family member, and 1 speech-language pathology student) were in attendance. We were excited to see four new faces at this meeting! After Emily read the welcoming words, we had a round of introductions to get to know everyone. Then, we watched the MTV documentary "True Life: I Stutter" and discussed reactions to the film. One person had been through the stuttering therapy program featured in the film and talked about how his experience compared. This lead to a discussion about various stuttering therapy experiences from both the person who stutters' point of view and the speech-language pathologist's point of view. Then, the choice of restaurant for next month's holiday social was debated. This social will take the place of our regular monthly meeting for December. Karrie read the closing words to end the meeting. Next month we will meet on Tuesday December 11th. As soon as the location is chosen, it will be posted on this website.

October 9th Meeting Recap

The NC Triad chapter of the National Stuttering Association held its second meeting this past week on Tuesday October 9th. Four people were in attendance (two people who stutter and the co-chapter leaders). Karrie read the welcome words to open the meeting. The meeting started by everyone sharing one reason they're glad the last month (since the first meeting) was over and one thing they are looking forward to before the next meeting. We then discussed ideas of how to increase attendance at future meetings. The main topic of the evening was avoidance and how it impacts everyone's lives, even if you do not stutter. The meeting ended with Ryan reading the closing words. The next meeting will be on Tuesday November 13th from 7-9pm in the Claxton Room on the first floor of the Elliott University Center on the campus of UNC Greensboro.

10/9/07 Meeting Agenda

We've had some inquiries from several people recently and hope to see all of you next week! The meeting agenda is to get to know any new folks and discuss the topic of avoidance. Do you avoid certain places, situations, or words because you think you might stutter? How does avoidance impact your life?
