How should a person react when they meet someone who stutters?
For some people stuttering may look like an easy problem that can be solved with some simple advice. However for many adults it can be a chronic life-long disorder.
The presentation will offer some useful and commonsense tips for speaking with someone who stutters.
The Nepean Centrepointe Library is located at 101 Centrepointe in the old Nepean City Hall building and right next to the Centrepointe Theatre.
