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.

TISA wishes to sincerely thank Livemint (HT) for helping us promote understanding of our cause. FFFriends, the video is up.

TISA is pleased to share the report (pdf, 8.7 mb) of first Communication workshop conducted in Herbertpur from 7th to 16th Jan 2010. Ten IPWS participated in it. Two worked as facilitators. Everyone contributed to the onward momentum and collective sharing. The framework of the workshop was based on CALMS approach. Prolongation, bouncing, pausing and voluntray stuttering were some of the main techniques shared and practiced. Acceptance was dicsussed as an important underlying value. On return, how we can sustain this process of change, was discussed in the context of Self help groups- a core TISA strategy. There was a lot of fun too- a mountain trek and a boating picnic! We will share the participants's formal feedback as soon as we receive it. Raja Bhattacharjee, a professional prohotgrapher, has put pictures of this workshop online to share with others.
