The most difficult situation a teacher has to face with a stuttering child in class certainly are the oral evaluations. We sugest teachers to speak with the child and to offer him or her to take this evaluation when he/she feels more confortable to talk but not to avoid the oral tests if it is possible. This would support the child fear to speak. Also it would be very important that the teacher talks to all the class about the difficulties that everyone have, as to avoid teasing.
