Hi, my name is Noah Baez and I go to Ellsworth Avenue School. When my friends ask me why I stutter I say,
“that’s how people are born”. I’ve been stuttering since I was in the first grade. I have an excellent speech & language therapist (Mrs. F) and she has helped me to learn strategies such as Belly breathing and stretching out my words which have helped me with my speech. My classroom teacher Mrs. P has also helped me by reminding me to slow down.
I was Lucky enough to meet a teacher from Danbury High school who also stutters, Mr. K. It was interesting to meet an adult stutterer. I learned his stuttering did not stop him from being a teacher or a coach.
My favorite games are, Fortnite and Roblox. I also like to plat Frisbee, soccer and basketball.
What I like about stuttering is that people don’t think I’m different from others. People never made fun of me when I stutter in school which makes it easier for me to speak.

Hi, I’m Jasmin and I stutter. My favorite things to do are hanging out with my friends, playing ROBLOX, watching TV and watching YouTube videos. I also like playing games on the phone that my mom bought for me. I want to go shopping at the mall for my birthday. I love my speech teacher. She helps me talk better.
