Stuttering Goes To School: A Guide for Teachers
by Silvana Franchini, Maria Eugenia Ramirez, and Cristina Reppetti
from Argentina
We are all aware what it means to be a stutterer; to try to speak and not be able to. For a child who can't speak easily, school may be a very stressful place. Oral lessons, reading aloud, even recreation time can produce great effort and sometimes great fear.
Based on an investigation with our school teachers, we realized that school wasn't exempt from general misinformation about stuttering in our country. Teachers didn't know how to identify early signs of stuttering, why that is important, or how to act in a suitable way.
This booklet for teachers had as the first objective to be a reference for them in one of the most important environments for the child and his development - the school.
Teachers are provided tips, showing them warning signs and are also provided specific tools to work and to support a child who stutters in the classroom.
Although in our country the promotion of the booklet isn't easy, our teachers accepted this guide very well, and we could see benefits of our working together.
Stuttering Goes To School is produced below in English as a PDF file. A Spanish version can be purchased through our website at: www.eiat.8k.com,
