My name is Simon. I am 11 years old and I am in the 5th grade. I like to draw, play games, and play sports. I love football and Adam Thielen is my favorite player. I stutter mostly outside of school, and my speech therapist has helped me with stuttering. I mostly stutter by saying the word, ‘can’ in conversations, like, “C-C- Can I get an apple?” and my speech therapist helped me with that. Me and my therapist learn facts about famous people, read books, and overall have fun! If you work on your stuttering, you will get fluent and you will be surprised!

Hello, my name is Zach. One thing I like to do is play baseball. The positions I play are pitcher, 1st base, and shortstop. My speech therapist is Ms.
Jane. In speech therapy, we learn tools like slow stretchy speech, pausing and phrasing, slide outs, and cancellations.
Remember it’s okay to make mistakes but just don’t
be hard on yourself. Zach, 3rd grade

Hello, my name is Jaelyn. I’m 13
years old. I like playing basketball and video games. I also like eating at Pizza Hut. The thing I love the most is playing with my dog.
I’ve been stuttering ever since I
was born. Over the years I realized that stuttering can’t be cured, but it can be helped. When I stutter, I try to use my strategies like
slow rate, stretchy speech, and easy onset. I’m not ashamed I stutter, but it is something I will have all my life. It just won’t change the dreams I have in life.
