The National Stuttering Association (NSA) is a United States support group organization for people who stutter. Its headquarters are in New York City.[http://www.nsastutter.org NSA webpage: "General Info"], [http://www.nsastutter.org/subcat/index.php?subid=197 "About the NSA"]

The NSA was founded by Bob Goldman and Michael Sugarman as the National Stuttering Project in California in 1977.[http://www.nsastutter.org/material/index.php?matid=194 History of the NSA] Currently the NSA functions through a network of more than 100 local adult, teen, and children's chapters nationwide.

The NSA sponsors regional workshops, youth and family events, education seminars for speech-language pathologists, and an Annual Conference, which hosts an average of 900 attendees. The NSA also publishes educational resources, such as pamphlets and booklets about stuttering, as well as a quarterly newsletter: Letting Go.

In November 2002, the Association received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.[http://www.nsastutter.org/pdfs/newsletters/m_192.pdf Distinguished Service Award Nomination for the National Stuttering Association]
