Challenges and Strengths- Suvrat Gautam — 15 Comments

  1. Hey Suvrat!

    I love your work! Very creative. I like how you have shown the strengths and challenges of stuttering in your work. I can’t wait to share it with kids who stutter who I know. I think they will appreciate it so much. My favourite bit is when you say being different is cool!

    • Hi Nic-
      Thank you for your kind words! Suvrat is really hoping that as many kids as possible can see this and learn from it!
      Best,

  2. Suvrat,
    Loved this creative piece! I really liked how you talked about both the strengths and challenges of stuttering. You can DEFINITELY teach people about stuttering and being different is pretty awesome! Great work and thank you for sharing!

    • Thanks so much, Amanda!
      Suvrat really celebrates being unique! I’m so proud of him!
      Best,

    • Thanks!
      Suvrat really taught me a lot about advocacy using technology, as we worked on this project together! 🙂

  4. Hey Suvrat!
    This is SO cool and creative! My personal favorite part was the sound effects after clicking the red button. I love how interactive it was as well! I just know other kids will love, appreciate, and learn from this project!

    • Thanks so much!
      Suvrat actually voiced some of the sound effects himself! 🙂 So fun and creative!

  5. I absolutely loved this! It was such a creative way to express yourself and you challenges/strengths. Ms. Jamie is the best! She is my teacher right now, and she is teaching us so much great information about stuttering. Thank you for being brave and sharing this with us! It is great that you are able to see your strengths through the challenges. You would be an awesome teacher for stuttering!

    • Thank you! 🙂
      Suvrat is now working on tweaking this a bit and getting ready to show it to his classmates to teach them all about stuttering for ISAD!

  6. What a cool and funny way to explain stuttering! You had me LOL, and I don’t do that easily. 😉 I hope you’ll share this with your friends and classmates, or even your whole school. As there might be kids who stutter, but who feel alone and not strong enough like you to talk about it, just like me when Iwas your age. I wish I had a cool friend like you back then.

    Keep talking and let them spoil you on the ISAD, as that’s OUR day! 🙂

    • Thanks so much, Anita!
      Last year Suvrat created another project that taught people all about stuttering, as well as helpful and unhelpful reactions to stuttering. He is making some small changes to this scratch and getting it ready to show to his new class.
      Best,

      • I love how you’ve found your voice to describe what you like and don’t like, as we’re all individuals. And when you teach people, they understand it better and will know what to do, and not to. You rock!

  7. Suvrat,
    I really like your project- I like your creativity, the sound effects, and the information that you gave us about stuttering! I happen to know Ms. Jaimie, and she is pretty great! Keep doing projects, and telling the world about your stuttering. So many kids will learn from your story.
    Sincerely,
    Steff

    • Thanks so much, Steff! Suvrat has loved reading all the feedback on his project – it’s so cool to think about people from all over having a chance to experience his thoughts, ideas, and awesomeness!
