We plan to conduct an awareness program for students and staff of Bharti school, a school functioning within the Bharti Vidyapeeth campus. The program will be coordinated by Dr. Pallavi Kelkar and will involve screening of some short films/ documentaries on stuttering, and a skit performed by students of our department.

Each short film, and the skit, will be followed by a discussion with the audience and some of the teachers about the different layers of stuttering.

We would ideally have loved to have a screening of “When I stutter” for our students and staff, as well as for the school where we are conducting the program. However since this does not seem feasible at this point, we will have to make the most of the resources that we have.

Take home message/ material:

We plan to give handouts to teachers of the school about do’s and don’ts to be followed with a student who stutters.
