Inspiring People: Stories of Innovation and Service

108. Let Your Voice be Heard


Listen Later

What do you know about stuttering? If you aren't someone who stutters, do you know the things you should do when you meet a person who does?


Today you'll hear from someone who can explain from his own experiences what stuttering is, the characteristics of one who stutters, and common myths about stuttering.


Our speaker, Jeff Olevson, is the current president of the Sunnyvale Rotary Club and has been a Rotarian for almost twelve years. Outside of Rotary, Jeff has been involved with the National Stuttering Association (NSA) for over twenty-four years.

The NSA is the largest self-help group in the country for people who stutter. Locally, Jeff is the co-leader of the San Jose Chapter of the NSA (a monthly support group for people who stutter) and is also the Regional Chapter Coordinator (RCC) of the Southwest. Members of the chapter share experiences about their stuttering journeys and seek support to guide them along the way. Jeff has a passion for sharing the NSA and helping others better understand stuttering.
