Below are several interesting contributions by John C. Harrison, of the National Stuttering Association. Many of these essays are also published in his 450-page book, HOW TO CONQUER YOUR FEARS OF SPEAKING BEFORE PEOPLE, written specifically for people who stutter. The first quarter of the book contains speaking exercises along with information for discussion. The book is available from Amazon.
