Really very heartening to know that you had gone out of comfort zone and practiced the learned techniques. Another good news was most of the PWS are young. Pl keep this tempo and all the best.
It was a good workshop and a very helpful one especially the last activity of each day.
Day 1
Answering questions asked by each PWS who joined this workshop in front of lots of people.
Day 2
Interviewing people and collecting their data what do they think about stammering and stammerers.
g8ttttttt , chandighar is rocking with sound of stammer... , activity selection is g8t.
Very good Anupinder and Ashish.
This clearly shows that one pws can easily help the other. Stammering does not require "Brain surgery" or "Total tongue transplant". It just needs a supportive environment. Congrats to Anupinder and Ashish, for setting it up, conducting it and sharing it here on the blog promptly and in detail. This is truly in the spirit of TISA!
Hats off to all of you! And let it be the beginning of many more such CommWS..
