TISA is starting a New National Telegram Channel. Which provide every PWS a common platform where they will get all information regarding TISA New events and get the mentors from every SHG.

1. Since these events are primarily meant to promote self-help and to provide a platform to people who stammer, at no time, should the stage be allowed to be used by other organisations (Vipassna, Toastmaster etc.) — or normal speakers, unless they have been formally invited as a guest/ technical expert.

Some years ago, a young intelligent man came and spent some time with me at Herbertpur. He had a ‘M Tech’and a lot more degrees – plus some stammering issues too.

I am writing this to clarify a couple of misconception that have / may arise. During my past discussions and conversations I often came around two common misconceptions that I want to clarify. Misconception 1: TISA dislikes Speech Therapists TISA doesn’t have any animosity against the Speech Therapists. Our stand about speech therapy is documented […]
A pws from Pakistan, let us call him YM, wanted to join a TISA whatsapp group. The admin contacted me. I said: yes, why not? YM is as much a stammerer as me or you- and needs some help. After all, many of us have drawn inspiration from Julia Irani’s videos. Haven’t we? I personally […]
Hi all, In Delhi SHG, we were discussing about making SHG meetings more effective so that everyone can be benefited from it.
