Mission:
To provide the best, most up-to-date information available for the prevention of stuttering in children and the most effective treatment available for teenagers and adults.

Background:
The oldest nonprofit in its field, the Stuttering Foundation was established in 1947 by Malcolm Fraser to help those who suffer from the disability. Today, stuttering affects more than three million Americans, and its causes are still largely unknown, despite decades of research. The foundation supports genetic mapping as well as basic and clinical research, co-sponsors conferences and workshops, raises public awareness, and provides services for those who stutter and their families. It distributes more than eight hundred thousand publications annually in sixty-three countries.

Outstanding Web Features:
What it lacks in elegance, the Stuttering Foundation's Web site makes up for in providing useful information in one convenient location, in particular its pages devoted to research; facts for specific groups — parents, children, teenagers, adults, teachers, speech-language pathologists, doctors, and employers; and referral lists of speech-language pathologists in the United States and abroad.
