Stammering Association Pakistan
December 2nd 2007 -
Yesterday when I was watching the Dawn News, I happened to see an interview of a lady named Julia. She was there to introduce this problem of stammering and Stammering Association
What is stammering?
Wikipedia defines stammering as, “a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases, and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the stutterer is unable to produce sounds.” It is a proven fact that it has genetic component related but how it comes in interplay is not yet known that’s why one can’t find any cure but management programs. There is a myth related to it that it is some psychological disorder but this notion has no reality.
Stammering Association
Stammering Association of Pakistan has just started its journey. Since there is no cure available for this disorder, Stammering Association Pakistan aims to provide a forum for stammerers where they will work together to achieve the stammering management goals.
My opinion
To me the cause of this association appears just and I feel like supporting them. They have taken this step to help many of those around us who really need help and by just spreading this message we can play our part. I feel it as our collective responsibility. If you feel the way I am feeling, please help spreading their message by all possible means. I hope such an act can really create some difference in lives of many who are suffering silently!!!
