December was another great month for our zoom based support groups. We had one meeting of our parent/carer group which was well attended. We also had 2 meetings of our Scotland wide virtual group open to anyone with a stammer to attend. At the first meeting we held a discussion session called “Is Stammering a Disability?” We discussed  how people view their stammer in the context of the Equality Act 2010. Here is a link to an article on our website about this: https://www.scottishstammeringnetwork.org/support/is-stammering-a-disability/

 

For our second meeting the main focus of this was on presentation skills with people preparing short presentations to gain in confidence.
