Stutter

For 1.25 crore Indians who stammer, going out to school or work or to interact socially is a challenge. Stammering is often met with mocking and discrimination and can lead to depression. The Indian Stammering Association (TISA) is helping change the situation for people who suffer from this poorly understood and rarely discussed affliction.
