This week Greg, Peter and Eric discuss a listener email concerning talking with her parents about stuttering. Then we discuss a speech therapy approach with children that does not focus on speech tools at all (imagine that!). We end out by discussing (once again) the difference between fluency mentors and stuttering mentors. The poster below is published by the Stuttering Foundation and features famous people who stutter.
We want to remind our listeners about the 2008 annual conference of the National Stuttering Association in Parsippany, New Jersey from June 25-29 and about the upcoming 2008 11th Annual Convention of FRIENDS: The National Association of Young People Who Stutter being held in New Orleans, Louisiana from July 24-26, 2008.
