Then they shared some of their experiences. Sagar works in a IT firm. Abhijeet also shared his experiences. He has done mechanical engineering in 2011 but he is not getting any job because of stammering. He told us that his technical skills are strong but he lacks in presentation and soft skills. Both of them also shared their experiences of speech therapy. They told that they only get little relief from therapy. I also told them about the speech therapy which takes place in herbertpur.After that we an activity of slow reading. We also practiced story telling. Stage daring was the last activity we have done in which every member will go ahead and speak on topic of their own.
