Ssstutter

I came across this video while searching something online.  Besides feeling bad for her, I can empathize.  Although my stuttering is not as severe, it kills me every time when I stutter in public.  I think it’s really brave of Hanna to agree to do this video with Vancouver Film School (VFS) and explain to the world that stutterers work twice as hard, if not more, to do something non-stutterers can easily perform: speaking.  I truly hope Hanna can work with her speech pathologist, practice speaking techniques, and eventually overcome her stuttering.  I know these exercises work because they have helped me to correct my stuttering.  My speech therapist told me that if stuttering is not corrected before the age of 8, people will have it with them all their lives.  It’s like a disability.  The good news is there are speech exercises I can practice to overcome or lessen the degree I stutter.  Just like exercising everyday is good for our health.  Stutterers have to do speech exercises everyday in order to speak normally with confidence.  Good luck, Hanna.
