BOSTON (June 13, 2022) — Twenty-one speech-language pathologists from around the world were chosen to attend an intensive workshop on stuttering therapy.

The workshop, Using Cognitive Approaches with People Who Stutter, was held in Boston from June 13-17, 2022. It was co-sponsored by The Stuttering Foundation and Boston University.

Memphis, Tenn. (June 21, 2021) – “Returning to the classroom for the 2021-22 academic year and moving away from remote learning through video and audio instruction offers an excellent opportunity for children who stutter,” says Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation.

Generations of Genius and Stuttering

Over the years, many Celebrity Corner articles in our newsletter have profiled people who stutter who have family members who also stutter, which of course is a strong testament to the genetic basis of stuttering. For instance, Lewis Carroll had ten siblings, eight of whom stuttered into adulthood.

He became famous for his high-profile role as Frankenstein in Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and Son of Frankenstein (1939).

Memphis, Tenn. (May 6, 2020) — For more than seven decades, the Stuttering Foundation has worked hand-in-hand with teachers to help them understand the needs of the child who stutters, both in the classroom and on the playground. By providing information, such as handbooks, FAQs, tips, videos and classroom presentations, the Foundation offers free, easy-to use resources for every teacher and school.
