I have very little control over my stutter. I wouldn’t even call it control; it’s more like I have to bargain with it. “Hey Nina’s Stutter, if I put on my ‘business voice’ and totally not sound like myself, will you let me get through this one phone call with a stranger?” “If I allow this word or that word, will you at least stay out of my next sentence?” I get exhausted just thinking about it. If I planned my day around Nina’s Stutter, there wouldn’t be time for anything else.

It is time to Continue this Conversation!   

I am please to launch The BOB KROLL CENTRE for STUTTERING AND SPEECH NL Facebook group page.

Each year, the CSA honours and celebrates International Stuttering Awareness Day and this year we not only celebrated in person by hosting our Conference over the October 22 weekend, but we also lit up Canada in sea foam green! Some of the venues that lit up for us were: Halifax City Hall, Nova Scotia Province House, Moncton NB Downing Street, Frederickton City Hall NB, the Regina, Saskatchewan City Hall AND the beautiful Niagara Falls that we conference goers were lucky enough to see in person at 10 pm at the Falls.

That is a wrap on THE FIRST Family and Youth Programming at our in person 2022 CSA Conference in beautiful Niagara Falls, Ontario! Our Family and Youth Programming was an absolute success with several families in attendance, generating support, bonding, and awareness of stuttering. Over the course of 2 days, we helped the youth of the CSA become more confident in communicating with their stutter through various fun activities and creative workshops geared towards boosting self confidence and acceptance of their stutter.
