Hi, my name is Wyatt


and


I’m 9 years old and I stutter. Stuttering has affected me since I was in kindergarten and certainly in 4th grade. Sometimes I’m embarrassed of how I talk but when I’m talking to my friends or my parents I’m okay. I thought that I was the only one who stuttered in the world but now I know I’m not even though sometimes I still feel that way. In


first grade I got bullied,


called names, and even spit in the face. I hated this but now I know what being bullied is. Now I’m going to a place called UCF.


It’s a place where they help people just like me. They help with people who stutter, recover from strokes, and even who become paralyzed. I can’t wait to get this stutter out of my way.

MY STUTTERING FEELS LIKE A BUMPY ROAD


My name is Keante. I like to be doing work in speech. My stuttering feels like a bumpy road. I want to sell care when I grow up. In speech I like adding stickers to my card and playing games.

My name is Ariana. I am 8 years old. I live in Florida. I like to sleep in on the weekends and swim in the pool. I do not like to go to school. Sometimes I stutter and it makes me feel embarrassed. I use the Silly Putty to stretch out my sounds in speech with my speech therapist, Miss Becket. Try to use your strategies to slow down when your speech gets bumpy.
