Hi, my name is Maddie and I live in Colorado. I was born in New York City. I have a pet cat named Sapphire. I like to play games on my iPad, and I like to hang out with Sapphire and my friends and family. I stutter a lot and it’s okay because I know how to fix it. I’ve been in speech therapy for 2 years. When I’m stuttering, I use easy-talk. Easy-talk is when we use slow and kind words. I want people to know that it is okay to stutter, and you can always use easy-talk.

Hi, my name is Tay and I am 9 years old. My favorite games are Minecraft and GTA5. My favorite candy is Pop Rocks and Mr. Beast chocolate bars. At school, I like to play soccer at recess. I love to go out to Noodles and Co. with my mom. My favorites are Japanese pan noodles (with no mushrooms and no meat) and pot stickers. I think stuttering is ok and I don’t get nervous about stuttering. I feel happy when I can speak in front of my class. Tay, 9, Madison, WI
