National Institute on Deafness and other Communcation Disorders
This website is the website for the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders. The motto for this organization is "improving lives of people who have communication disorders". They defined stuttering as a speech disorder in which sounds, syllables, or words are repeated or prolonged, disrupting the normal flow of speech. Symptoms of stuttering can vary significantly throughout a person's day. Generally, speaking before a group or talking on the telephone may make a person's stuttering more severe. Roughly three million Americans stutter. It occurs most often in children between the ages of 2 and 5 as they are developing their language skills. This website is very informal and helpful to those who are interested in stuttering and learning more about what this is. I personally learned a lot more I didn't know about stuttering and the causes and effects of it. Their are links to this website that have different research and news articles that are informative about what is being done about this disease.
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.
