TISA welcomes Mr Ganpathy!

The Chennai meet on 14.12.2008 was attended by Sivasubramaniam, Kanniappan, Ganapathy (a SLP) and myself. Mr.Ganapathy, a speech therapist by profession was kind enough to come to the meeting and has given some important inputs. He has assured us to continuously support TISA. His association and participation is going to be a great strength for Chennai chapter and TISA itself.

What is Self Help?

Since there is no medical cure and available therapy almost always ends in relapse and self-blame, it makes sense to develop problem solving skills on our own: you would surely learn to fix running repairs if you are going on a world tour, instead of carrying your mechanic with you. It is all the more useful since it is practiced in a group. You develop social and communication skills, instead of chasing fluency alone. TISA promotes four core techniques: Bouncing, Prolongation, Pausing and Voluntary stammering. In addition, we share and practice many more skills/ approaches: listening, Body language, team skills, leadership, self-assertion, peer counseling- above all being a member of a vibrant community, through fair give and take.
