I can help lead you to a few resources that you might find helpful. I'm not sure what languages your support organization or the children you are working with speak, but one suggestion is to ask Jane Fraser at the Stuttering Foundation for permission to translate "Because I Stutter" by Eelco de Geues into the language most of the children use. It has good information for kids between 7-12 and would be a good project for the adults in your group, who would also learn a lot about stuttering from translating it. It is already translated into several langagues. The SF has other helpful materials as well. There are also a LOT of material in past ISAD online conferences that could give you good ideas. Check some of the following *****A Magic Place: A Magic World by Taro Alexander http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/alexander10/alexander10.html **** Messages for Teens Living with Stuttering http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/isadcon10.html **** Seven Ways to Help the Child Who Stutters (SFA) http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/translation10/pdfs/sfa7.pdf is already translated into several different languages on last year's online conference at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/translation10/translation10.html **** Some of the following powerpoints might be helpful in a support group meeting for kids http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad8/papers/ppt/ppt8.html **** The ISAD online conference at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad7/isadcon7.html has many excellent resources that can be used for children and teens - Looking Back and Looking Forward - It Gets Easier, Kids and Teens Support Projects panel, Presentations by Kids Who Stutter, Several very good "stories" about stuttering, FRIENDS and Family Day: One-day workshop for supporting children who stutter and their parents.
