My name is Fatima. I’m 10 years old. I like to watch TV, play basketball, and swim. I’ve been stuttering since I was a toddler. Whenever I feel a stutter, I just make sure to talk slowly and clearly. I’ve always wanted to become an architect when I grow up, but they have to talk to people. I worry that some people will not understand me, so I’m going to try and work on my stuttering.

Hi, my name is Slade and I live in Indianola, Iowa. I’m 12 years old and in 7th grade. I love the Iowa Hawkeyes and sports including, basketball, football, and track. I stutter, but I am going to speech therapy to learn to control and just to learn to live with my stuttering. I just want everyone who stutters to know that even if you stutter, don’t let that stop you from doing what you want to do!!

Hi my name is Evan and I live in Morley, Michigan. I am 8 years old in 2nd grade. I like to play Roblox and be a Parkour Ninja. I have a cat and a dog. Sometimes they get along and sometimes they don’t. Here are some strategies to help with smooth speech:


1. Take deep breaths 2. Start all over 3. Slow down


4. Think about what you want to say in your head first.
