You Can Stutter And Be Heard – Wanchung Huang — 6 Comments

  1. Hi Wanchung!

    What a beautiful video! I will definitely send it to many of my friends who don’t stutter, I couldn’t have been more concise and effective 🙂

    And I am very curious to know more about Alan Rabinowitz, how did you find out about his story?

  2. Hello Wanchung,

    Thank you very much for sharing these tips! I am a graduate student in a speech-language pathology program and am currently learning how to support clients who stutter. Understanding how someone who stutters would prefer for me to listen to them is so helpful, and I really appreciate how you went into detail on exactly how I can do that. I also really enjoyed the story of Alan Rabinowitz and the connections he made with animals. I think we all need someone to give us the space to express ourselves once in a while, even if it’s mostly a one-sided conversation.

    Thank you for your video and insight!

    • Hicolletteah,

      I’m so glad you found the tips helpful!
      It’s great to hear you’re studying speech-language pathology, and I’m sure your clients will appreciate your thoughtful approach.
      Alan Rabinowitz’s story really is inspiring, and I agree, giving people space to express themselves is so important.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and best of luck with your studies!

  3. Hi Wanchung,

    Thank you for these insightful tips on being a better listener to people who stutter! I am a graduate student at University of Nebraska-Kearney studying to be a speech language pathologist. During my time working with students and adults in various settings, I learned that although silence can be uncomfortable for some people, it should be embraced and implemented in conversations. I agreed that silence is not a negative thing and loved that you included this in your video! I believe with today’s world being so geared and focused on “instant gratification” and fast paced environments, some people have lost their ability to be patient at times and need to take a step back to reflect on their ability to listen effectively to others. Thank you again or sharing
