Abstract

When you hear the word “stuttering” what do you think of? Many people think that stuttering is when someone repeats a sound. However, there are different types of stuttering, and each person who stutters has a different and unique way of speaking. Stuttering is like an iceberg because there is a small part of it that we can see (or hear), but a big part of stuttering is invisible. People who stutter have thoughts and feelings about stuttering that we cannot see. Because most people who stutter only stutter sometimes, they must decide if and how to let other people know about their stuttering. We will discuss how stuttering can impact kids and adults and what you can do to support people who stutter.
