What is your greatest accomplishment with regard to stuttering?


In regards to stuttering, I think my biggest accomplishment has been being open and talking about it here lately. To see how many people were positively affected by me doing that, it’s an amazing feeling. Stutterers all sort of feel a connection to each other because we know what we have all been through. It’s been really cool to hear other


people’s stories and give them a positive message.


Based upon your experiences, what would you like to tell children who stutter?


Find something you love to do, make goals, and focus on that. Do not let your stutter hold you back. It is a challenge you have to overcome, but it’s not something that should hold you back. Everyone has challenges they face in their life; you develop character and confidence by overcoming them. I’ve always tried to use it to motivate me, and keep me fired up to accomplish my goals in life.


Don’t let worrying about what other people think get in the way of what you love to do.


Based upon your experiences, what would you tell parents of children who stutter?


I would say that stuttering is a lot for a child to go through. It is much harder to make friends, and it is harder as a child to understand how to deal with a stutter. Understand that there will be good days and there will be not so good days. Help them find something they love to do, and encourage them to put themselves out there as much as they can.
