Hi, my name is Casey. I am a boy, just so you know. I was 9 years old when I wrote this. I live in Omaha, Nebraska. I am in third grade. My brother’s name is Mills, but I just call him Moo Moo. No, he’s not a cow! I like Sonic, Peanuts (as in Charlie Brown). I enjoy drawing, video games, making puns, and sitting in silence comfortably. I love summer, beaches, and more outdoor stuff . I am more of a nature person. I do like to draw things like this picture I submitted. My favorite thing to do while stuttering is scrunching up my muscles and letting go and relaxing and keep talking. Unfortunately, I have ADHD, a problem with my attention span, so it is hard to use my strategies and increases the chance of stuttering. But I’m getting better - yay! I say this a lot, but I have a big imagination. Like A BIG IMAGINATION!! Wow, this is a lot of words, but I wish to be a cartoonist when I grow up, so this is practice.
Casey, 9, Omaha, NE
Hello, my name is Meelah and I am 9. I am in the 4th grade, and I live in Virginia. I have stuttered since I was six years old. I go to speech therapy at my school. When I stutter, I get mad and upset. When I used to cheer, I would not stutter at all. I stutter more when I’m nervous. When I stutter, I use strategies like turtle pace, light contact, pausing, and relax then restart. I love cotton candy, I love face timing my best friend, and I love tacos. I hope that I have inspired you to do some things that I do to stop stuttering. I hope you fi nd confi dence and a good group of friends.
Meelah, 9, Richmond, VA 28
Hello, my name is Malakai. I have a hard time with my stutter. Other kids make fun of me because of it, and I go to speech therapy, and they help me with my stutter. I take deep breaths and talk slower.
