Thanks to some generous donations, the Stuttering Foundation has donated
a new DVD, entitled Kids Who Stutter: Parents Speak, to 8,800 public
libraries across the country.
In this 16 minute DVD, parents and speech-language experts talk about
how to promote easier talking as they interact with their children. The
professionals offer simple tips that parents can follow easily.
The DVD features some of the world’s leading therapists with children
who stutter: Lisa A Scott, Ph.D. of the Florida State University’s
School of Communication Science and Disorders; Ellen Kelly, Ph.D., of
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine; speech-language consultants
Frances Cook, MBE, MSc, Willie Botterill, MSc, and Elaine Kelman, MSc.,
from the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children in London.
“This is an important tool for families and teachers of children who
stutter,” added Jane Fraser, president of the nonprofit Stuttering
Foundation. “Our latest DVD is designed to give parents and teachers
the tools they need to play a vital role in the process of helping
children who stutter.”
