मेरी कहानी

नमस्कार मित्रों! मैं प्रसन्नजीत, एम.टेक. का छात्र हूं। यहां आप सब लोगों से हकलाहट की स्वीकार्यता पर अपने अनुभव साझा करने जा रहा हूं। मेरी जीवन में हकलाहट की शुरूआत बचपन में हुई। दादाजी बताया करते थे कि अपनी आंटी की नकल करते-करते मैं खुद हकलाने लगा। कक्षा दसवीं तक हकलाहट बहुत कम थी। यहां […]

हकलाहट को छिपाएं नहीं, खुलकर बात करने से मिलेगा समाधान…

बैंगलोर में टीसा के स्वयं सहायता समूह के शुरूआती दिनों से ही नवीन हमारे साथ जुड़े रहे हैं। मुझे अच्छी तरह याद है जब पहली बैठक में नवीन को धाराप्रवाह बोलते हुए देखकर सभी को बड़ा आश्चर्य हुआ था। नवीन ने अपने अनुभव साझा करते हुए हमें बताया की जब वे सातवीं कक्षा में थे, […]

My Stammer Personified

One of my really good friends and Person-Who-Stammers (PWS) suggested an activity that was all about creating a short story of your stammer as if it were a person/friend/pet under the activity name “Stammering Personified”. Well, frankly speaking, at first it seemed a little ridiculous and childish, but after being open minded, it opened other […]

Talk the Walk

Grand SHG Meeting Report | what to say ? was it dream ? seriously ? we did it ? want to know ? read the post carefully

Are you a Rogerian?

I just discovered that our approach in TISA is very much like that of Carl Rogers, who gave birth to Humanistic Psychology. This was a rebellion against Psychoanalytic and Behaviouristic schools. Psychoanalyst believed that our current behaviour was controlled by what happened long time back in our childhood- dark, unhappy things. Behaviorist believed that environment […]

A sweet and TRUE story..

Parents of CWS often ask: how can I help my child? Answer is simple: encourage your child to read bed-time stories and LISTEN seriously! This father is doing the same- but the other way around: He is reading (with his stutter) and the daughter is listening so attentively! Bed time stories are a great way […]
