"There is nothing of which we are more ashamed than of not being
ourselves, there is nothing which brings us greater joy and happiness than
to think, to feel or to say what is ours" -Erich Fromm
Who We are
The National
Stuttering Association is a non-profit organization formed in the San
Francisco Bay area in 1977 to meet the needs of people who stutter. The
NSA has over 2500 members nationwide and operates a network of 85 local
support groups.
The Columbus Chapter is one of those groups.
The Columbus Chapter of
the NSA was organized in 1989 and reorganized again in 1997. We currently
have about 10 active members who regularly attend out meetings.
We are a support group geared toward
attracting new people. While many chapter members are undergoing or have
completed formal speech therapy programs, the NSA is not a therapy group
and talking is voluntary.
NSA meetings are a safe place to take
risks; to try out new communiction behaviors; share feelings, and be open
about our speech and our lives as people who stutter.
