  3. Stuttering is a speech problem where some people’s speech system doesn’t work well all the time.

  4. Those who stutter are not essentially different than those who do not

  5. People who stutterer do what normal speakers do when they are dysfluent, which can include repeating phrases, words, syllables, and sounds; prolonging sounds and hesitating before speaking

  6. Stuttering is characterized by: involuntary, audible or silent repetitions (li-li-like this), or prolongations (lllllike this), or abnormal stoppages (no sound) of sounds and syllables. There may also be unusual facial and body movements associated with the effort to speak.

  7. Also, frequently • presence of an emotional state, ranging from a general condition of “excitement” or “tension” to more specific emotions of a negative nature such as fear, embarrassment, irritation or the like.

  8. What Causes stuttering? There are no known causes for stuttering. But there are treatments that can help, like speech therapy.

  9. There are four factors most likely to contribute to the development of stuttering: • genetics (approximately 60% of those who stutter have a family member who does also); • child development (children with other speech and language problems or developmental delays are more likely to stutter); • neurophysiology (recent neurological research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language slightly differently than those who do not stutter); and • family dynamics (high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles can contribute to stuttering).

  10. Stuttering does run in families • incidence of stuttering among 1st degree relatives of stutterers is more than 3x that of general population.

  11. Stuttering is more common among males than females. Stuttering affects four times as many males as females.

  13. What is Bullying? • There are many definitions of bullying, but everyone agrees that bullying can cause serious and lasting harm. A bully intimidates and can cause physical or emotional harm to a person. • Bullying typical involves: • Imbalance of Power: people who bully use their power to control or harm and the people being bullied may have a hard time defending themselves • Intent to Cause Harm: actions done by accident are not bullying; the person bullying has a goal to cause harm • Repetition: incidents of bullying happen to the same the person over and over by the same person or group

  14. 3 Types of bullying • PHYSICAL BULLYING-Includes hitting, kicking, pinching, punching, scratching, spitting or any other form of physical attack. Damage to or taking someone else’s belongings may also constitute as physical bullying.  • VERBAL/EMOTIONAL BULLYING- Name-calling, insulting, making racist, sexist jokes, remarks or teasing, using sexually suggestive or abusive language, offensive remarks. spreading nasty stories about someone, exclusion from social groups, being made the subject of malicious rumors. • CYBER BULLYING- any bulling carried out by the electronic medium like a text.

  15. How to deal with a bully? • Tell them to stop.   • Walk away. Do not let them get to you. If you walk away or ignore them, they will not get that satisfaction. • Protect yourself. Sometimes you cannot walk away. If you are being physically hurt, protect yourself so that you can get away.  • Tell an adult you trust. Talking to someone could help you figure out the best ways to deal with the problem.  In some cases, adults need to get involved for the bullying to stop.  • ###BULLYING IN ANY FORM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AT YALE PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!!
