Stuttering Foundation


Stuttering Foundation On the critically-acclaimed movie Stutterer:


Yoli: What a lovely film, truly portrays the everyday struggle of a person who stutters and the lengths the stutterer goes thru to try to fit in and make life as smooth as possible.


Jalin: As a usually severe stutterer (I have good days and bad days), I can say that this is the most authentic display of stuttering I have seen on film. It is an everyday struggle for us, but this so accurately portrays those struggles, and what we wish people knew. A huge thank you to the filmmakers for bringing awareness to it in such a beautiful way!

On The Mighty article “So… What does Stuttering Feel Like?”


Nate: Another frustrating aspect to that first analogy is, like a burst pipe, sometimes all of those words come rushing out at the same time. You’ve struggled just to make one sound but all of the sudden you’re making ALL the sounds at once and you’re lucky if the person you’re talking to picked any of it up.


Bruce: “...ending up with caramel...when I wanted vanilla...” Yes! I’ve ended up going by “Paul” instead of Bruce. I’ll use “Anthony” when needing to give my order in public....how I do know the plight.

Carol: I learned so much from having a child who stutters. Just how amazing he is!!!


"I think whatever you have to overcome in life ultimately paves the way for who you become as an adult. I got teased a lot, and to this day, I hate unkindness in eople and bullies."


Sara: This gives me such hope!

On voice-activated technology:


Evan: Worst experience ever was trying to say my name when setting up my voicemail. I spent over 20 minutes stammering, just trying to say my name before the system would cut me off, saying that it didn’t understand me or asking if I needed more time. I had just bought that phone and I already wanted to throw it through a wall.


Jeff: Yeah. Siri does not know what to do with me.


On the Huffington Post article “5 Wishes From the Heart Of Someone Who Stutters”:


Carol: Thank you so much for this. My precious grandson has a stutter. He has been treated unfairly and accused of using drugs by law enforcement. My grandson explained, I stutter. “Yea right!” was the officer’s reply. So thank you so much.
