LIVING & LEARNING WITH A CHILD WHO STUTTERS

"From a Parent's Point of View"

by LISE G. CLOUTIER STEELE


A Collection of  Short Stories written by the mother of a dysfluent 
teen who has stuttered since the age of 3, with a chapter on recent 
scientific research into stuttering by David Forster and published
by NC Press Limited 

In 1991, Lise G. Cloutier-Steele took time out from her job as a 
technical translator to establish the Ontario Stuttering Project 
(OSP), an organization aimed at creating greater awareness for 
stuttering. In 1993 she was the recipient of a Canada 125 award in 
recognition of her volunteer efforts to help other parents of 
children who stutter. Born in Ottawa, Ontario, she continues to live 
there with her husband Paul and her sons Lucas and Jonathan.

"At times humorous, at times tragic, the book documents a mother's 
quest to ensure that her stuttering son receive both a quality 
education and the best speech therapy possible. As strange as it may 
seem, in these modern times, the most basic right of a good education 
and quality special services all too often are not readily attainable 
for parents of children who stutter. Teachers administrators and, 
unfortunately, many speech-language pathologists are unaware of 
the impact stuttering has on a child's educational and social progress. 
My hope is that Mrs. Cloutier-Steele's experience will encourage the 
rest of us to increase our efforts on behalf of children who stutter 
and their parents."
