Dear Kate, I'm so pleased that you plan to organize a presentation to help prevent teasing. Check out the article, "Practical solutions for dealing with bullying in children who stutter" by Yaruss, Murphy, Quesal and Reardon on this conference for some ideas. There are also guidelines for doing presentations on stuttering in classrooms on the Friends: National Association of Young People Who Stutter and National Stuttering Association websites. Marilyn Langevin at the Stuttering Institute for Treatment and Research in Edmonton, Alberta has put together a program to help prevent teasing and bullying that is available for purchase. Hope some of these resources will help you. Regards, Lynne
