(above: 1. Bouncing in the food court- acts as appetizer! 2,3: impromptu presentations: we need to read widely to enrich our content; 3: Pass the pillow game to get feedback randomly.)
We began the day with a guided meditation (on breath). Next, random recap and feedback by throwing a paper-box around- a session conducted by JP. Some videos were shown there after: Graceful stammering demonstrated by Tavinda (PSA) and courageous forward moving speech by a young girl on a stage.. We discussed these videos.
Next we divided in two random groups for intensive practice of bouncing, prolongation, pausing, vol.stuttering, belly breathing. Sholay (the popular movie from seventies) was retold many times..
Before going for lunch, we assigned speech buddies. Over the lunch, we interacted with other people in food court and practiced our skills. Some of us had great experineces and some had funny experiences! But on the whole we all learned something- especially during the subsequent debriefing.
After lunch, some more videos and then a round of impromptu speeches, which were video-graphed. Later we reviewed the recordings and participants shared their feelings and observations. Everyone was suitably impressed by themselves! Most had seen themselves talking on the huge screen for the first time! Most were able to point out there secondaries correctly. We discussed what can be done about the secondaries (from the Self-help book from Malcolm Fraser).
We parted on a happy note: sharing hilarious one liners, before dispersing..
Most participants plan to visit sachin for 121 counseling during the week days. JP started planning the next weekend..

Very noble thoughts Romi.Good luck to you.
The communication workshop conducted by TISA (The Indian Stammering Association) on saturday-sunday at infosys was very interesting and illuminating experience for me.
We learnt so may aspects of stuttering, the techniques which can be used to good effect when you communicate like bouncing, pausing, prolongation, voluntary stuttering and so on & so forth. The presentation round and approaching strangers and using the techniques while asking for their feedback on PWS was a very nice experience for me as well.
Looking forward to next 3 days of workshop which will be conducted this friday-sunday.
TISA workshops getting better and biger with every new workshop.
I know romi's words are very genuine. It's a very heavenly feeling when you meet a no of PWS and you spend time with them.
Keep rocking guys..:)
