🎉 PowerPoint Party – Kids Edition! 🖍️🧮

We had so much fun at our PowerPoint Party for adults that we’re bringing it to the kids! 🖼️👧🧒 Participants will team up with their speech therapists to create fun, funny, and informative slide shows—then present them to a group of other kids who stutter. 💙

This event is all about building confidence, practicing presentations, and connecting in a relaxed, stutter‑friendly environment. 🌟🤝

Thanks to our generous donors, the event is free and will be held on Zoom. 💻

🎙️ Speaker Series: The Impact of Trauma on the Stuttering Experience 💙

Join us for an open and meaningful conversation with Chris Anderson, Chaya Goldstein, and Dr. Naomi Rodgers, authors of “Organizing Life Around Stuttering: A Qualitative Examination of Stuttering Through the Lens of Complex Trauma.” 📖✨

This special event will explore how stuttering can shape not only how someone speaks—but also how they feel, respond, and move through the world over time. 🌍💭 The authors will introduce a trauma‑informed perspective, highlighting how repeated stressful or painful communication experiences can have lasting emotional and psychological effects. 💡🗣️

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, this event is free and open to the public. 🌟 Designed to welcome adults who stutter, as well as friends, family members, and professionals, it will provide space for reflection, questions, and shared conversation. 🤝💬

📅 June 24, 2026 ⏰ 6:30 – 8:00 PM EST

🌟 As proud as we are of our mission, we’re equally proud to share that our board member Emily Blunt is featured in People Magazine () 🌟

Emily has spoken openly about being born with a stutter, and now she’s starring in our new PSA “Just Listen.” 🎥💙

🗣️ “They aren’t asking to be fixed,” Emily reminds the world—raising awareness about living with a stutter and the importance of listening with respect and empathy.

✨ Her story highlights that stuttering is neurological, often hereditary, and deserves understanding—not judgment.
