Survivor is my favorite TV show, as anyone who follows me on social media knows. I've been watching since I was 12 years old and have seen over fifty different seasons.

More people than ever are using social media platforms to engage with thousands of others on topics around stuttering and fluency.

It is essential to provide teachers with the right tools to communicate with their students in the classroom. The most important thing to support a child stuttering in the classroom is to be a good communicator yourself.

Despite the fact that stuttering affects more than three million Americans, many individuals still misunderstand this common speech disability. One of the Stuttering Foundation's goals is to provide the best and most up-to-date information available to help dispel any myths that still exist.

Year after year, one of the most frequently asked questions we receive, usually from parents of a child who stutters, is a simple one to answer. Do I need to do anything special when talking with a child who stutters?

For as long as I can remember, I have coped with a "speech block," a type of stuttering that momentarily causes unexpected breaks in my speech.

For years, my stutter was the thing that caused a lot of self-doubt, negativity, and held me back. My stutter would cause me to talk negatively to and be mad at myself. Through years of self-growth and introspection, I no longer allow myself to talk ill about myself or be mad at myself because of my stutter.

On the night of August 31, I called four games of bingo. That was not something I had on my list of things to do that day nor was it on the list of things I thought I would ever do.
