Stuttering Research
We often encounter in our lives people who have speech impediments. But the most common among these speech stuttering research impediments is stuttering, a condition which, is caused by stress and anxiety starting from the person’s developmental stages. In fact, studies show that more and
more adults and kids suffer from speech impediments such as stuttering 
because it is not addressed properly during the early stages of growth.
As these kids grow up, stuttering becomes a problem because it hinders
them from communicating properly not only with their peers but to
people across all age brackets. People who stutter often times find
it hard to communicate with people that can speak normally because
they are afraid of rejection, it’s up to people who are lucky enough
to speak clearly to understand these people who are not as good as
them with words.
Day-to-day struggle due to stuttering
Stuttering is indeed a very serious problem for young and old people.
With stuttering problems, simple daily tasks like saying their names
when somebody asks for it, answering the telephone for a call or
making a phone call, giving out directions for people asking, asking
for specific instructions, and even ordering a meal from a fast-food
store can be hugely disappointing and frustrating.
People who suffer from stuttering experience being ostracized in the
society just because they cannot speak well. This inability of self
expression makes other people irritated at times so the tendency is
for the stutter to veer away from the crowd as much as possible. In
a school setting, studies show that other children who don’t have
problems in speech are bullying almost 90 percent of kids who are
stuttering.
This bullying happens everywhere inside the classroom during a
recitation, inside the canteen during recess or snack break, within
the campus during break hours, and even outside the school when
classes are over. This is because many kids find stuttering funny
and they would want to make fun of stutters without realizing its
adverse effects on their peers.
In work places, adults who stutter also experience the same kind
of exclusion. Many people don’t usually mingle with stutters because
they feel that it’s such a waste of time talking to somebody who cannot
express him or herself freely and fluidly. The tendency is that the
person who suffers from stuttering will become an introvert, avoiding
crowds and people just to be spared from being teased and ridiculed.
The components of the society can play a major role in solving the
stuttering problems among kids and adults. First of all, the parents
themselves can greatly help their kids overcome this condition by
giving them guidance and all kinds of support that they need. Parents
must make their kids understand that stuttering does not make them
less of a person and that they should not feel intimated by others.
Parents must also emphasize that a child’s dreams, desires, and
talents should determine the focus of their future and not their
stuttering. When parents motivate their children to dream high and
have high hopes for the future, when they tell their kids that even
the most successful people are sick in a way just like themthe kids
will be encouraged to do better and be better in all aspects of their
lives.
For teachers, they should always make the child feel secure and
understood whenever he or she is inside the classroom. They should
avoid pressuring the child who is stuttering because the more pressure
he or she feels the bigger room for mistake there is. Teachers should
always act as the second parents of children in school, providing them
all the support, care, and understanding they need.
The society at large can also greatly help people who are suffering
from stuttering by giving them proper respect and treating them as
normal people who equally deserve the rights and freedom they enjoy.
