Hi, my name is Julie Cessna and I am currently a Speech Pathology Graduate Student at West Virginia University. Ever since I started college I knew I had a passion to work with younger children either in an early intervention programs at home or among other teachers within a school system. After reading your survey and data I have realized that teasing plays a large role in many of these students lives. Who’s job do you feel it is to make a child who stutter’s peers and superiors aware of stuttering and how do you feel it is appropriate to discuss these issues within a school setting? Should a school counselor be responsible, a parent, the classroom teacher, or maybe an SLP. I understand that many kids deal with teasing about many uncontrollable things in their lives but I feel if we work together to make more individuals aware of the fact that people are different and that’s not a bad thing.
