Turkish Stuttering Association: A Model Project to Bring Stuttering Self-help to Turkey

Posted by Callier Library on November 10, 2008

A new self-help organization has been established to serve stuttering individuals and their families and/or friends in Turkey and other Turkish-speaking areas of the world. This Turkish Stuttering Association (TKB for “Türkiye Kekemelik Birlii” in Turkish) was inaugurated with a Web site in both Turkish and English. The Web site permits discussions among those who stutter and other interested persons. The next step is to foster face-to-face chapters of the TKB through the Web site and via annual workshops at the Education, Research, and Training Center for Speech and Language Disorders (DILKOM) at Anadolu University in Eskisehir, Turkey.
