Back to School: The Video Every Parent and Teacher Should See
[1]
As families and teachers prepare for the start of school, stuttering in the classroom, the lunchroom, and the playground remain challenging and problematic for many. Some five percent — one out of every 20 children — may experience stuttering for six months or more.
To provide important guidance, the Stuttering Foundation offers its “Help! My Child is Stuttering [2]” video free of charge.
“This is the one video every parent and teacher should see before the next school begins to help promote understanding of stuttering and a smooth transition into the new school year,” said Stuttering Foundation President Jane Fraser. “New teacher, new classroom, or even new school--for the child who stutters, surmounting these challenges can seem overwhelming.”
The Stuttering Foundation also hosts a “Back to School [3]” page of resources for parents and teachers.
