Hi. My name is Roman. I live in Mount Vernon, Washington, and I go to Jefferson Elementary School. I have a twin brother who stutters too. When I stutter I feel like I’m on a bumpy road. When I try to talk and get stuck on words, I stop and let it go. Then it feels like I’m on a smooth road so I can say words. Also, when I am stuttering I feel like I am a CD player and the CD doesn’t work and I go “uh uh uh.”
When I use my tools in my toolbox it works for my stuttering. My tools are a slug for slow speech, a cotton ball to remind me to do soft speech, and a rubber band to remind me to stretch out the word and do stretchy speech. I have a red button to push to start over.

DO WHAT YOU DO
Hello, my name is Riley. I have a dog named Ella. I started stuttering on and off in the 1st grade. I also do 3 types of dance: ballet, tap, and jazz. Plus I love to downhill ski. Another interesting fact about me is that I am blind. If you get frustrated when you stutter then you should just think, “I do what I do and no one can stop me!” It is okay to “do what you do.” I go to speech and use strategies to help me and you should too! I get frustrated sometimes, but I remember my motto and that makes me feel
UNSTOPPABLE!! Riley, 9
