Hi Julie, If you are, in fact, involved with children who stutter, you may wish to share with them the following poems/articles that I wrote for the 2004 ISAD Online Conference (The Year of the Child Who Stutters). (a) Poem 1: CHANGING THE WORDS AROUND This poem explains the implications of avoidance and word substitution.It has been illustrated by my friend, and fellow British Stammering Association member, Christine Badgett-Richards, and may be viewed in several different formats. Although the poem was principally written for children, the message is equally relevant (and important) to adults. http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad7/papers/badmington7/badmington17.html (b) Poem 2: EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT I wrote this poem to help children gain a better understanding that everyone (not just those who stutter) is unique. http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad7/papers/badmington7/badmington27.html (c) IT'S GOOD TO TALK ABOUT IT This article is intended to encourage persons who stutter to talk more openly about their difficulties. http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad7/papers/bridgebuilders7/alan7.html Kindest regards Alan
