stuttering feels like a volcano.

Don’t Think
About It
My name is Curtis. I am 10 years old. The strategies that help me the most are talking in breath groups,
and stretchy vowels. speech,
and minimizing consonants/ maximizing
If you
stutter don’t think about it, just say what you want to say and keep practicing. Whenever I am nervous about talking I just take a deep breath then say what I am going to say.

Be Who You Are!
Hello my name is Josiah. I am in the fourth grade at Clinton Elementary School. I like to play basketball, video games and read books. When I was five years old I began stuttering. I now receive speech therapy in school from Ms. B. She has taught me how to use an easy start and pausing and phrasing. An easy start is when you stretch the first sound of the word. I use that quite a bit. I have much better speech now. I have only been teased about four or five times. I found that people tease others when they don’t understand stuttering. I even shared what I learned about stuttering from the Stuttering Foundation with my family. My mom says that I am an amazing person, because I play sports, attend church, and read out loud to my class. Stuttering has never stopped me from being who I am.
