Electronic Communication About Stuttering
In addition to accessing online journals, there are three other types of information about stuttering that you can access via the internet. Each provides different information or different ways of learning about stuttering.
The Stuttering Home Page
The stuttering home page contains a tremendous amount of helpful information about stuttering, including essays about stuttering, course syllabi from other universities, and links to other stuttering pages.
Websites
In addition to the SHP, there are also websites specific to organizations that are active in stuttering or stuttering support, including:
The National Stuttering Association: The largest support group in the USA for people who stutter: http://www.WeStutter.org
The Stuttering Foundation of America: Organization providing information about stuttering for SLPs and people who stutter: http://www.stutteringhelp.org
Friends: The Association for Young People Who Stutter: A newer support group focusing on children who stutter: http://www.friendswhostutter.org
Listservs
A listserv is an electronic communication group. People send messages to a main computer, then that machine then mails out the message to everybody on the list. To participate, simply tell the main computer that you want to be on the list. When you do, you will receive information about how to do things like sign off when you graduate or no longer want to read the list messages.
There are several listservers available on stuttering, each with a slightly different focus (three are listed below). I would recommend you start with stutt-l, because this list has had the most activity in the past. (In fact, I think Stut-HLP and Stutt-X are very quiet these days.)
STUTT-L. A forum for researchers, clinicians, and theorists interested in stuttering. The list owner is Dr. Woody Starkweather at Temple University. To subscribe, send the following message to listserv@vm.temple.edu: subscribe Stutt-L firstname lastname.
STUT-HLP. A support list for people who stutter and their families. The list owner is Dr. Bob Quesal (r-quesal@bgu.edu) at Western Illinois University. To subscribe, send the following message to listserv@bgu.edu: subscribe Stut-hlp firstname lastname.
STUTT-X. A forum for discussion about research of stuttering. The list owner is Dr. Don Mowrer at Arizona State University. To subscribe, send the following message to listserv@asuacad: subscribe Stutt-X firstname lastname
