TISA thanks Vishal who very kindly gave a small Ad in ” The Times of India”
which read as follows:
“People Who Stammer (PWS):
Next meet of the Chennai group of PWS at Marine beach at 6 PM on Sunday,
October 5. The group meet on alternate Sundays to discuss about the problems
faced by PWSs and how to over come them. Call 9445061999 / 9791157911″.
Many people called Manimaran and Vishal after seeing the above Ad. Some promised to come for the next meet. The booklet “Twelve questions on Stammering” were given to the new members. The meeting lasted for an hour. Now, Manimaran plans to go ahead and send a letter to Head of the Dept of Speech and hearing, Sri Ramachandra Medical College at Chennai to depute a SLP to their Chennai meet for guidance.
We hope to conduct Chennai TISA meet in the last week of Dec’2008 along with
formal inauguration of speech therapy for PWS.
TISA welcomes ALL the new members and thanks Manimaran and Vishal for taking this wonderful initiative. Now, if the Sri Ramachandra Medical college, responds, the ‘supply and demand’ cycle will be complete and everyone will be a winner.
