NAME
Welcome to Stutt-L!
We are a forum for information and discussion about stuttering research, treatment and support. The objective is to provide an opportunity for professionals, students and consumers (including people who stutter, their friends, family members, and employers) to learn from and with each other.
A few ground rules
- Courtesy and Tolerance: Please be mindful of the tone of your posts and the language that you use. Remember and accept that opinions vary. We would like all those in the Stutt-L community to feel comfortable posting their feelings and points of view.
- Identify Appropriate Credentials: Please sign your posts with your name and relevant credentials. Participants deserve to know who is writing and relevant background. For example, indicate whether you're a speech-language pathologist, board recognized fluency specialist, person who stutters, student, academic researcher, etc. We also appreciate credentials that are relevant to the topic at hand, such as a physician commenting on medication or an attorney talking about disability law.
- Frequency and Redundancy of Posts: Please keep the length and frequency of your posts reasonable to keep discussion from being dominated by a few people. If a group dialogue evolves into a back-and-forth conversation between two people - as happens occasionally - please take it off-list and continue the discussion via individual email as a courtesy to other participants.
- Compliance with List Netiquette: The list managers reserve the right to make judgments related to compliance with these rules, and to enforce the rules by limiting access to 'read only' or removing individuals from the list, if necessary.
Once again, WELCOME!
The list managers: Vivian Sisskin, Judy Kuster, Nan Bernstein Ratner

FACEBOOK: Stuttering Groups/Pages
Type "stuttering group" or "stammering group" into the Facebook search engine and you will discover numerous groups that have been formed. Some are active with many members. Some are "open" which means you don't have to "join." Others are "closed" which means you have to "join" to participate, and sometimes to even read the "wall." Explore the groups listed on the search engine to find what you may be interested in. There are also some Facebook "pages" that are worthwhile exploring. Be aware that there are scam advertising "groups" and Facebook "pages" that advertise cures or programs that are not mainstream therapy programs for stuttering. Let the buyer beware!! A few that I follow occasionally are
Closed groups/pages
Open groups/pages
