Children
Who Stutter Offer Advice to Others
Friends need to be patient and let them complete words
and finish sentences. Teachers need to encourage them to make presentations
and participate in class. Speech-language pathologists need to
realize they will never be 100 percent fluent. Parents need to
support them. These
were the reaffirming messages at a workshop on stuttering Saturday
at Kent State University...
