Thanks to generous donors, the Stuttering Foundation has donated books and DVDs to public libraries across the country, including Vinton Public Library.


Stuttering Foundation books are directed to parents of children who stutter or clutter, adults who stutter or clutter, speech pathologists, pediatricians, family physicians, nurses, health care professionals, hospitals, schools, clinics, day-care centers, and all those concerned with the problem of stuttering or cluttering.  The DVDs feature some of the world's leading therapists with children who stutter.  Since the original publication, Foundation materials have reached millions of individuals worldwide. 

 

More than three million Americans stutter, yet stuttering and cluttering remain misunderstood by most people," said Jane Fraser, president of The Stuttering Foundation. "Myths such as believing people who stutter or clutter are less intelligent or suffer from psychological problems still persist despite research refuting these erroneous beliefs."

 

Since 1947, the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation has provided free materials to public libraries nationwide.  A library that will shelve them can e-mail info@stutteringhelp.org, or download a request form at  http://www.stutteringhelp.org/libraries-information.
