SAY: The Stuttering Association for the Young

An integral part of empowering and creating a supportive community for our children and teens, is ensuring their parents and caregivers are empowered and have a supportive community as well. SAY has always strived to create programs that provide a brave and safe space for children and teens to meet on a consistent basis to learn and grow, and now we’re excited to announce we’re creating that environment for parents and caregivers as well. Welcome to SAY: Parents and our Monday night program!

Join us on the first Monday of the month at 8pm ET, for our FREE monthly online parents’ and caregivers’ group where we will create a fun and safe space to learn and grow as allies. Click here to register and join us to:

• Ask questions and get the perspectives of adults who stutter, other parents AND/OR a speech pathologist!
