Here is a very important testimony from Mani, Coordintaor Chennai Chapter of TISA. We are looking out for more such sharings. 'Reality' is shaped by sharing what we know about it, discussing it, questioning it and above all by emulating it.
Dear friends,
I never expected such a huge response to my post love stuttering. Of course
there are mixed reactions to the post. First of all I thank every one who have
responded to my post. After seeing so much response, I wish to elaborate further
on love stuttering.

We, the PWS have tried so many things to attain fluency. I, as a child have always hoped for something miraculous or magical thing that will happen one find day that will rescue us from the shackles of this impediment. I’ve always looked for that encounter with someone who will reveal to me the secret mantra towards fluency. I always searched and read a lot about stammering cure on internet. And it’s on this wonderful media that I came across – Steve Hill.

When I was young I thought only boys like me stammer. May be not all boys, just me. My sister did not stammer, my mother did not. Girls in my class did not stammer. In fact some girls were “fascinated” with my stutter, which I found quite embarrassing. Now, at 52, many of my opinions are changed. I know girls too stammer and they too feel embarrassed when boys tease them about it.

"Then, there’s the cumbersome challenge of stammering. “It’s mostly a psycho-social disorder that can be tackled through counselling or occupational therapy if started from a young age,” said Dutt. It becomes a little difficult to treat in older patients, which is why he feels self-help groups, like the city chapter of The Indian Stammering Association which meets at Cubbon Park every Sunday, can make a huge difference..."

We people gathered at akshardham temple in the morning and kicked off our first (in this season!) meeting with the new guidelines. First, we had an introductory session in which everyone just had to say their names. Later, we had a small exercise of asking the names of each other, so that everyone got to know each other. Then, Anup read-out the TISA rules/guidelines which are published in the guidelines document. In the next session nitin staged a mock interview which was later reviewed by others, everybody gave their important feedback/suggestions for tackling interviews with a calm state of mind and without loosing the slow rate of speech. It was found to be really helpful for the person as interviewer or interviewee both. Then we had a game of impromptu presentation, there was a small bag with topics written on chits, everybody then picked a chit and spoke on the topic for around 2 minutes. Sikandar, Ranjit, Nitin & Anup then shared their views on the positive qualities of others who played impromptu presentation. Then we discussed on the importance of slow speech, everybody almost agreed that 80-90% of the problem can be solved by adopting the slow speech techinques but it is really difficult to do such practically. So, each of us took the assignment of slow speaking till the next TISA meeting, in which we will monitor it on the daily basis. With this assignment in hand we ended the meeting and decided that we should meet regularly and periodically. It was tentatively planned that the subsequent meetings would be held on 2nd and 4th sunday's of the month.
Thanks & Regards,
Anup
