This was a fun session because we were able to Skype with a boy who stutters from Newport, VT.  He was able to work with another member to write a penpal letter to another chapter in North Carolina, which included fun information like:

— favorite animals/pets (hippos and snakes!)

— favorite things to do (basketball)

–speech “tricks” (slidey speech, voluntary stuttering, “downshifting”)

They also talked about future projects such as creating an American Girl doll who stutters, baking cookies decorated with stutters, and a fun sledding day  with all of our Chapter Support Groups which is coming up on Feb. 26th!  Hope to see you there!
