Check the Stuttering Foundation's brochure - 6 Tips for Speaking With Someone Who Stutters http://www.stutteringhelp.org/Default.aspx?tabid=538 This brochure, with the permission of the Stuttering Foundation, was translated into Albanian, Bulgarian, Czech, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Icelandic, Japanese, Korean, Napalese, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Russian for a previous online conference. All of the translated brochures are available at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/translation10/translation10.html The National Stuttering Association also has a downloadable brochure, "Notes to Listeners" (http://www.nsastutter.org/pdfs/newsletters/m_511.pdf I would challenge you (and others) to download or order copies of brochures not only to educate your family and friends about how to react to someone who is stuttering, but also to pass out a ton of brochures on October 22 as a way to celebrate International Stuttering Awareness Day.
