Ellen, I agree that parents of kids who stutter do need support. While the National Stuttering Association and Friends: National Association of Young People Who Stutter are support group for people who stutter, they also provide support to families. I help to organize an annual day-long workshop for kids who stutter through Friends. Not only do we plan activities for kids, but also for their siblings and parents/grandparents, and also SLPs who want to learn more about stuttering. I think that the NSA sponsors similar events. Both Friends and the NSA have an annual convention in the summers, and families are included for both fun and support. Great comment--thanks. Best wishes as you continue your education. Regards, Lynne
