My blog is all about stuttering and how it can affect a person's life. I focused on what stuttering was, where someone can go to get help, and what is being done to help those that do stutter. There are several different organizations that I researched and found that support the cause of stuttering and I found different articles some doctors and some journalists that researched stuttering and found ways to correct it.
Learning Objectives:
1. There are roughly three million people that stutter. Most of them being children between the ages of 2 and five which is the peak time during their developing stages. Approximately 5 percent of children will stutter for some period in their life. Boys are twice as likely to stutter as girls and as they grow up that number continues to grow. However, most children tend to outgrow stuttering.
2. Another learning objective I want people to know when they view my blog is that there are several organizations out there that can help those that stutter or that need help with a family member that may stutter. You are not alone because a lot of these non-profit organizations such as the National Stuttering Association or the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders are out there to help and inform people about these disorders. A lot of people are ashamed to say that they stutter and in some cases the stuttering can be more worse than others. It is important to know that their is support and other people that are going through the same problems with stuttering.
3. Finally I want others to realize and know that there are scientists and other professionals that are conducting research and trying to figure out the cause of stuttering. Though some may say it is linked to genetics, there is no yet cause as of where its origin came from. There are many people that think stuttering makes a person not as smart or intelligent as others because of disorder however just because one may stutters doesn't mean they are not capable of other things. As you can see I posted a picture of celebrities that have been successful in their careers that stutter and are still famous. It doesn't matter that you have this disorder it matters what you do with it.
My Blog will focus on Stuttering. Stuttering is an speech disorder in which sounds, syllables, or words are repeated and prolonged disrupting the normal flow of speech. These speech disruptions may be accompanied by struggling behaviors such as rapid eye blinks or tremors of the lips. Stuttering can make it difficult to communicate with other people which often affects the daily life of the individual.
