My name is Ria Ferris. I'm forming a community support group on
the Sunshine Coast for adults who stutter. We are forming this
group under the Australian SpeakEasy Association and more closely
through the QLD branch of the Association. We are a
not-for-profit organisation and I am currently building community
awareness of this new service as as to find potential group
members.

The Speak Easy Association is a self-help organisation that
provides support for people who stutter by holding weekly
meetings in their respective metropolitan and rural locations.
Groups meet regularly to work on fluency techniques, discuss
individual stuttering problems and develop self confidence
through role-playing and public speaking.
The Association's primary aim is to assist people who stutter,
particularly after they have undertaken some form of speech
pathology treatment, by providing opportunities for its members
to practice fluent speech skills, and to help individuals manage
and control their speech in daily situations.
To assist with this, the Association works side by side with
Speech Pathologists to help keep our members up to date on the
latest techniques and treatments including the technique of
Smooth Speech.
