We met in-person at A to Z Speech Therapy with 6 people attending. After introductions, we played a version of NEVER HAVE I EVER to spark conversation.

For this activity, we had two decks of question prompts. One deck had EVERYDAY (more family-friendly) questions and the other deck had STUTTERING-related questions. We placed a bowl of Starbursts in the middle and when anyone in the group HAD done the activity, they took one Starburst.

Group conversation happened after each questions was answered. Everyone shared interesting stories from their Stuttering Life and their Everyday Life. I think the fun setup for the questions helped people feel more comfortable sharing.

Below are some of the NEVER HAVE I EVER question prompts…

STUTTERING QUESTIONS

• Never have I ever wished I could be more spontaneous in conversations.
• Never have I ever worried that people judged my intelligence based on my speech.
• Never have I ever felt stronger from the challenges I have faced in life because of my stutter.
• Never have I ever used humor to survive a rough speaking moment.

EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

• Never have I ever eaten dog or cat food.
• Never have I ever gotten a speeding ticket.
• Never have I ever used a dating app.
• Never have I ever crashed a wedding reception.
