Hello, a little confusion about the article I wanted to clear up for myself if you do not mind. You stated at the bottom of the article that most students have never heard about stuttering, yet the perspective I am receiving from this paper shows that society has discriminating views against stutters. Is the problem that society is completely uneducated about stuttering and that measures can be taken to prevent this issue? I am extremely relieved that the word is getting out, but will educating actually cause more labeling and increasing humiliation by stutters?
