  1. My Story Robbie

  2. My story begins……. • My stuttering first became a problem in 6th grade when I started noticing it • At that time I started at a new school and new speaking situations were revealed, such as: • Making new friends • Talking to unfamiliar teachers • Extra stress

  3. After a while……… • I got used to being the kid with the stutter • It bothered me, but I didn’t mind the minor handicap • I realized that my speech had become more disfluent with the change of schools

  4. Now I am…….. • Working on improving my fluency by learning about my issue and communication • Learning to cope with my anger because of my stuttering • Problem solving different speaking situations

  5. Some things that I would like to tell my friends……. • I wish that you could walk in my shoes for a day • That my stuttering affects my personality and how I act sometimes • To learn to ignore my stutter and see me as they see every other fluent speaking person

  6. Some things I would like to say to my parents…. • Don’t ask me any more damn questions • Stop feeling sorry for me, or at least don’t show it to my face • Sometimes I just want space • Stuttering gets harder for me when you treat me differently

  7. Some things I would like my teachers to know……. • That I can’t say everything that I want to, but I swear I always know the right answers • It is harder for me to speak infront of a large group • Don’t surprise me when you call on me, it only increases my tension

  8. My successes include… • Being in theatrical productions where I needed to speak in front of many people • Being a good friend & listener • Putting up with my family • Not following the crowd, but making my own decisions

  9. I still need to work on… • Speaking spontaneously with a group of friends • Controlling my breathing and slowing down my speech rate • Ordering off the menu

  10. My final thoughts…… • I hope to be able to decrease my tension and improve my fluency to a standard that people wont question me about having a stutter • I know that no matter what my fluency is, people will still see me for who I am…
