Based upon your experiences, what would you like to tell children who stutter?
Be loud and it’s also ok to be shy! Embrace who you are and share it with the world. You can accomplish anything you want. It has been shown that people who stutter are generally overachievers. Never be afraid to reset and get rid of all the negativity in your life. Always, always seek help: speech therapy, counseling, mental health, and/or mentorship.
Based upon your experiences, what would you tell parents of children who stutter?
Give them as much love and support as you can. Give the children time, be patient with them. Take them to therapy early and be in there with them. Help your children embrace the challenge and become the solution and role models for others. Although there is no cure, it does not hinder their success and choices in life.
What else should we know?
During my dental training, I had the opportunity to intern in Dr. Dennis Drayna’s research at the National Institutes of Health. Through genetic sequencing and mapping techniques, we are able to identify genetic variation / mutation at the molecular components. The disruption of intracellular trafficking can lead to mistranslated protein necessary for the human communication system. Though we made progress, further research and funding are important for better understanding and future treatments.
I want to thank my family and friends/mentors that have been on this journey with me. I owe my success to their commitment, encouragement, and belief in me.
