If it’s on your mind, SAY can help you express it!
Welcome To SAY
You stutter. And you deserve to be heard — just as you are. You never have to face it alone. At SAY, we help you say what you want to say, on your own terms and in your own time.
We offer programs and events where you can make lots of new friends (many who also stutter) and learn some seriously impressive skills. We want you to feel confident about how you speak, and feel free to discuss anything and everything that’s on your mind. Maybe…
- You feel like you can’t get your thoughts out, or that people cut you off and don’t let you speak.
- You sometimes feel like no one understands you or your stuttering, or you don’t know anyone else who stutters.
- You feel anxious or upset about stuttering, or you’re having problems with kids at school or other people in your life.
- You never raise your hand in class, even though you know the answers.
- You spend all day trying to hide your stuttering from everyone because you are afraid of what people might say.
- You sometimes pretend that you are sick, so you don’t have to read aloud in class.
- You want to feel better when you speak on the phone, order at a restaurant, think about what career to pursue, or have concerns about high school or college.
- You are feeling confident with yourself and your stuttering right now, and you want to keep it going.
