DISCUSSION FORUMS
Discussion forums are groups that you subscribe to. There is
no fee to subscribe. At present, several forums are dedicated to the
topic of stuttering. When you subscribe to a discussion forum, you will join a group
of people interested in stuttering who ask and answer questions,
offer suggestions, discuss issues, evaluate therapy programs, etc.

Stuttering Home Page Mailing List
sponsored by the Key City Sertoma Club, Mankato, Minnesota
The Stuttering Home Page developed the first live online chatroom for people who stutter, starting in November of 1997. Newer, and free chat software became available and many chatrooms were formed by various groups. Free and open chatrooms disappeared from the Internet after problems became evident that some were using them inappropriately. The Stuttering Home Page chatroom was discontinued and a yahoo groups mailing list was developed instead. For anyone interested, you can join at Stuttering Home Page discussion forum
