How you can help stutterers

‘This could be the most difficult thing to do for kids and adults who stutter. We need to accept it is okay to stutter. Removing the labels and stigma around it will allow us to embark on our journey of personal growth. I am who I am today because of my stutter and am grateful for that.’

‘Parents should look out for warning signs and consult a speech-language pathologist to determine whether the child has a stutter. The therapist can teach techniques that could minimise the severity of stuttering if treated early on.’

‘Showing signs of impatience makes a person who stutters more self-conscious. Listen to what we say, not how we say it.’
