Hello everyone, my name is Stefanie and I am currently in my last semester of classes in graduate school for Speech Language Pathology. I am enrolled in a stuttering course and am beginning to gain clinical confidence with this disorder as I continue to learn. However, I am not as confident with the bullying aspect that comes along with stuttering. I know it is different for each individual, but are there any suggestions on how to decrease bullying in schools? I have heard from professionals that a presentation on stuttering to school aged children may help, but I have also heard from people who stutter that this would have made them feel uncomfortable or made bullying worse. Is there any tips or responses that are helpful for the kids to use if they are being bullied?
