A Resource About Stuttering and Your Child


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     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.
