"Newsletter offers support for parents of children who stutter." The Exceptional Parent 31.2 (Feb 2001): 80. Academic OneFile. Gale. University of New Mexico. 13 Apr. 2009
In this news letter they talk about how the NSA provides two letters to their members. One called CARE, which stands for Connection Advocacy,Research, and Education, is one which leading researchers in child stuttering provide information about what they are finding and doing with their research. They provide information for parents and let them know what's going on.
The second news letter, entitled Stutter buddies, provides support for every NSA member regardless of age. It informs them with helpful tips and tricks for every day life. Along with that it provides them with information about groups and special events which are in their areas.

What kids really want - to let it all out!
This is an image representing the struggle children have with explaining their thoughts clearly. This drawing is one from a 9 year old stutterer, in therapy to help ease anxiety of attending public school.

3. Fluency: A Key Link Between Word Identification and Comprehension, Anthony S. Bashir, Pamela E. Hook - Speech, Language, and Hearing Services in Schools, Apr2009, Vol. 40 Issue 2, p196-200, 5p
About: This article is mainly about the interraction between speakers and stutterers; their struggles and their strength is shared in this article.
Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this article is to respond to A. G. Kamhi's (2007) challenge to consider two points of view on reading--the broad and the narrow. Each point of view includes a component of the reading process; namely, comprehension and word recognition. Taken separately, each point of view is insufficient for our understanding of the development of the reading process.We must account for the development of fluency as a key link between word identification and comprehension.

About: Stuttering, gesturing, and brain mapping.
Abstract: Although stuttering is regarded as a speech-specific disorder, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that subtle abnormalities in the motor planning and execution of non-speech gestures exist in stuttering individuals.
