Hello all. I’m sorry to
report there were only two members present at this meeting, including myself.
This group has been together for about five years now. I don’t know why this
happens.
The other member & myself
decided to have the meeting anyway & we stayed the whole time. We had an
interesting talk about different aspects of stuttering. The other member has
developed a system of speaking that works very well for him. He’s even written a book about it available
on Amazon. Go here:
(If this link doesn’t work,
the name of the book is: Stuttering: Cause & Cure by T. C. Cascio)
His system involves what he
calls “running the gauntlet” which is a way of doing away with secondary
actions that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to say.
We also talked a little about
the recent movie that was shown at Cal State Fullerton several weeks ago, “The
Way We Talk”. I saw the movie & thought it was excellent. If you haven’t
seen it, I strongly advise that you do. You can rent it or buy it on Vimeo.com. It’s being shown again at Cal State San
Marcos on December 2nd. Go here for more details: http://www.thewaywetalk.org
The movie presents a couple
of takes on stuttering that I think are
out of the ordinary.
That’s all for now. The next
meeting is this coming Thursday, November 10. Let’s hope there’s more than two
people there.
