- Winston Churchill, Marilyn Monroe, Bo Jackson, Carly Simon and James Earl
- Jones all have something in common. They all stuttered and overcame the
- problem. Three million Americans share the problem as well, with men affected
- four time more frequently than women. When parents first hear their child
- begin to stutter, the immediate reaction is fear mixed with a host of urgent
- questions. Who is to blame? Did a trauma cause my child to start stuttering?
- How should teasing be handled? What should be told to teachers, day care
- center workers or babysitters? The Speech Foundation of America answers these
- and dozens of other important questions in their newest book "Stuttering and
- Your Child" obtainable, without charge, upon requests sent to Speech
- Foundation of America, Department FD, P.O.Box 11749, Memphis Tennessee 38111.
- This is a well written, 64 page book coauthored by seven of the country's
- leading speech-language pathologists. They provide clear insights into the
- problem, and offer suggestions that will enable a parent to cope with the
- problem of a stuttering child. More important they hold out the hope that
- treatment, particularly when it is begun early, may lead to resolving the
- problem.
