Why 2021 Was Good For PWS

Almost 50 of our PWS students became PWSS (people who stopped stuttering) this past year. It’s always a joy to reflect on what some of them have shared with us. Here are a few highlights:

An attorney wrote, “Your program saved my life. I really believe that even though it may take hundreds of years, in the future, when cars can fly, people will be saying to their kids, ‘Hey, you know back in the day there used to be this thing called stuttering.’”

One of our Canadian PWSS, who had experienced many failed therapies, wrote, “SAC truly is a great organization, and its methods do work for many people. Lee’s program is by far the best practical approach I’ve ever heard of for addressing chronic stuttering. His methods forced me to confront the problem and gave me techniques that allowed me to communicate even when I felt the subconscious desire to hold back.”

A father of a pre-teen, after donating $5,000 to help cover our monthly cash losses, wrote, “It was the least I could do, especially since you’ve been so generous with your time. You’ve created an amazing community of PWSS that I hope will continue to flourish.”

A medical doctor who is now a PWSS shared, “I used to stutter badly from age 11. Sometimes I blocked completely. I couldn’t say or read a word—it was ghastly. Lee is an angel sent from God. I can’t thank him and his team of ex-stuttering coaches enough for all they do.”

An airline pilot-PWSS wrote, “I have no words to thank you enough for what you do and the help you give us.”

A Polish PWSS shared, “Thank you again and again and again for your book and your selfless coaching that enabled me to become a PWSS—a Person Who Stopped Stuttering. What a difference in the quality of all aspects of my life.”

A Canadian chemical engineer-PWSS wrote, “In addition to helping us reach fluency, which affects every aspect of our lives personally and professionally, we have learned invaluable lessons in kindness and generosity of spirit. I have consciously tried to adopt these lessons and have already observed many benefits. So, thank you again for all your wonderful teachings.”

Seeing our students succeed is our greatest reward. They continue to prove that stuttering can and should be beaten. Don’t waste another day before joining the World Stop Stuttering Association (formerly Speech Anxiety Cures), the world’s only community of EX-stutterers—the only people who truly understand how to stop stuttering. I’ll be waiting for you there.
