I loved your presentation, what a fun way to address stuttering for kids. I think it is so important to educate young "normal" speakers about stuttering to avoid any misconceptions they could develop throughout their life. Although I agree this would be a helpful classroom tool, I did have a question for you. If the group/class has only one child (or a few children) who stutter, how could we present this topic without making the child feel like they are under the spotlight? This is such a sensitive issue, especially for kids when they are trying to make friends and fit in with peers. How would you know when this could help desensitize a child who stutters and not hurt them? Thank you for your work! Genesis
