Description:

Northwestern University Center for Audiology, Speech, Language, and Learning (NUCASLL) will be hosting our 7th series of free guided improv workshops that will allow tweens and teens who stutter to:

- Enjoy a welcoming space where stuttering is accepted and supported—and mistakes are celebrated.
- Practice flexibility and taking risks.
- Learn to avoid “avoiding” due to the spontaneous nature of the improv activities.
- Have the option to pass during any activity with no questions asked.
- Improve their personal reactions in a supportive environment where they can be comfortably uncomfortable.
- Create a community with others who stutter.
- Have fun!

Dates: 1/26, 2/2, 2/9, 2/23, 3/9*

3/9 is a special session scheduled for adults 18+

New and returning participants welcome!
