Understanding Stuttering: Personal Stories and Professional Perspectives
Stuttering is more common than you might think. It affects about 3 million adults in the U.S. alone! We are joined by some incredible guests: Christine Rose, a speech-language pathologist; Jamie Saunders-Anglin, a licensed social worker and advocate; and Molly Porzel, a parent navigating the world of stuttering with her kids. They share insights into the prevalence of stuttering, its genetic basis, and the challenges faced by those who stutter. Highlights include: The National Stuttering Association's efforts in supporting individuals who stutter and reducing stigma, personal stories, the importance of self-advocacy, support for families, and innovative initiatives like a driver's license alert for stutterers.
