Peter Reitzes

My brother Peter has his own Web site now:

StutterNY.com

Peter is a speech therapist who stutters, and getting his license wasn't easy. He was accepted to New York University's speech pathology program, and then the university tried to force him out -- because he stutters. That's discrimination.

Read what my brother has to say about his stuttering,
then read about how he took NYU on -- and won.

Peter Reitzes on Speech Language Pathologists who stutter

Read the Philadelphia Inquirer articles of November 11 and November 20, 1998 about Peter's battle with NYU.

Peter was supported by the National Student Speech Language Hearing
Association (NSSLHA) during his struggle with the university.
Read what NSSLHA President Jacquie Kurland had to say about Peter
in the spring 1999 issue of NSSLHA News and Notes,
and in a letter to New York University.

Peter's victory was written up in the December 14, 1998 issue of
ADVANCE for Speech-Language Pathologists & Audiologists.

He's quoted in this article in the New York Times and another article from the Sunday Chicago Tribune Magazine.
