Should My Child Attend Speech Therapy?
by Lisa A. Scott, Ph.D.
Q: How can you tell if your child has a stuttering problem?
A: If your child has been stuttering for only a few days or weeks, it’s very alarming but it is probably best to wait to see how the stuttering changes. Waiting a month or two does not seem to affect how well your child will respond to later treatment and you might be surprised at how quickly the stuttering goes away.

Most children go through periods of disfluency as they learn to speak. Some will experience mild stuttering, and for others the difficulty will become severe. Early intervention by the pediatrician can help parents understand and thus minimize the problem.
We’ve been keeping up with our energetic and dedicated friend from Kansas, Eva Woolwine.
As reported in our Summer 2005 Newsletter, she was off to the Miss Kansas pageant (June 5 – 12) to compete with stuttering awareness and education as her platform. As a person who stutters herself since early childhood, Eva is passionate about clearing up misconceptions regarding stuttering.
Dylan Levin of Chicago wanted to do something special for his Bar Mitzvah in March.
In lieu of gifts, he asked his guests to donate to the Stuttering Foundation.
Dylan, who has had a speech disfluency since he was 5 years old, says he feels connected to the Stuttering Foundation and wanted to help others.
Bob Love has dreamt about being a great public speaker since his early days in Bastrop Louisiana, even though, as a young man, he could barely put two words together, let alone speak a full sentence.
Peter Reitzes, M.A., CCC-SLP, shares his comments on the new film Rocket Science not only as a speech pathologist, but also as a person who stutters. His insights may provide direction for those who want to see this film.
Our favorite unofficial ambassador, Leon “Jigger” Sirois (see Summer 2007 SFA Newsletter) continues to tirelessly heighten awareness of the Stuttering Foundation and the resources and help that are available.

Sometimes I stutter
people may look at me strange
but do they know me?
They hear my stutter
but I am much more than that
Please listen to me
Please don’t look away
Because of my stuttering
Don’t judge me by that ...
