Brazil Fluency Workshops in October — 2 Comments

  1. I think it is a great idea to visit schools across the country to spread awareness. For young children, stuttering may be just starting to affect their social life and mental well being, so providing education and support to them and their peers is a great start. Addressing myths and and facts about stuttering will also be a great educational experience for school personnel as they come across students with a stutter. The school years are a critical time for young children’ social development, which is why I think this campaign is so important.

  2. So happy to read about the activities in Brazil. I had the pleasure to be at the world congress in Argentina and also visited Brasil. As a pws who didn’t know there were others who stutter until I was 27, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the life changing work you do. I myself speak to students and teachers in school and have been a children and youth camp leader for almost 30 years, and to see children feeling understood and proud is so rewarding! It’s not all about fluency. It’s about getting them to speak their mind.

    Keep (them) talking, as the ISAD is every day!
