ZANDER CAM EMMA CHRISTIAN LIAM
We are students from Roxana, IL. We’re all in diff erent grades, but one thing we have in common is that we stutter! We also found out that we all like animals, ice cream, playing games, and coming to speech therapy! Every Friday, we meet as a group and talk about ways to make stuttering easier. We often use easy onset to help with our stuttering and cancellation when we feel like our message wasn’t clear.
We don’t like being interrupted while we’re speaking, and it’s easier for us to talk when we don’t have to talk over others. We tend to stutter more at home and during recess because there’s a lot going on around us.
Christian is 9 years old, loves watching Phantom of the Opera, and his favorite animal is a macaw. Cam is also 9 years old and loves playing Fortnite and Rainbow Six Siege. Liam is 11 years old, and his favorite animal is an axolotl. He also loves playing Gorilla Tag. Emma is also 11 years old, likes cats, and enjoys playing Minecraft.
We’ve become good friends and even went on a fi eld trip together to get ice cream with a high school student who also stutters. We’ve also given presentations to our classmates to help them learn more about us and stuttering. When you think about it, stuttering is pretty cool and makes us unique!
Hi, my name is Calix and I’m 11 years old. I live in South Bend, Indiana with my family of 4 (5 plus my dog). I like to play the piano, play with Lego, and play soccer. I hope to be a Lego employee when I’m older. I started stuttering when I was about 3 or 4. The types of stutters that I have are prolongation and repetition. The strategy that I use the most is the Syllable Timed Speech Technique. On a normal stuttering day, I normally feel pressured, stressed, and frustrated. Then on a good stutter day when there is barely a stutter it makes me feel good to speak fluently without my stutter.
