Thank you for sharing these inspirational articles and videos. I am a graduate student in speech-language pathology and am glad I found out about the support group Friends. In my undergrad, I got the chance to work with a small group of 4 and 5 year olds who stuttered. They got the chance to work with kids their age that they could relate to and know they are not alone. At the time, I did not think of the impact that group could have on those kids besides helping them become aware of their stuttering. After reading this article, I see the support we have created for those kids and I am glad I could be a part of it. As for the support group Friends, I am hoping to find an organization like this in my area. I realize how important it is for people who stutter and families to have a support system to learn, create friendships and know they are not alone. Thank you for sharing! Amanda
