    Extractions: Many children are just going through a stage of development when they stutter. Stuttering is a form of dysfluency - an interruption in the flow of speech. Children between the ages of 2 and 5 commonly repeat whole words and phrases and may interject fillers such as "uh" and "um" into their speech. This is called "normal dysfluency." When you consider that children of this age are still learning how to speak, developing coordination of the muscles used for talking, learning new words, putting words together into sentences, and discovering how to ask questions and influence outcomes with their words, it's easy to see why they acquire dysfluencies. What Causes Stuttering? Stuttering can be worrisome to parents who fear that somehow "bad" parenting is the root of the problem. Parental behavior does not cause stuttering. In reality, the causes of stuttering are not precisely known - it is a very complicated and involved condition. About three times as many boys as girls stutter. However, more is known about the environmental factors. Stress, for example, can affect stuttering. Early Signs The first signs of stuttering may appear after the second birthday or when a child is beginning to put words together to form sentences. To parents this may be upsetting, but it is a normal stage in speech development. Showing patience with your child and adopting a cautious, accepting, and informed attitude are best during the preschool years. A child may be dysfluent for a few weeks or several months, with symptoms disappearing and perhaps appearing again. Most children who begin stuttering before the age of 5 will lose the dysfluency.

    Extractions: "There is nothing of which we are more ashamed than of not being ourselves, there is nothing which brings us greater joy and happiness than to think, to feel or to say what is ours" -Erich Fromm The National Stuttering Association (formerly the National Stuttering Project) is a non-profit organization formed in the San Francisco Bay area in 1977 to meet the needs of people who stutter. The NSA has over 2500 members nationwide and operates a network of 75 local support groups. The Cleveland Chapter is one of those groups. The Cleveland Chapter of the NSA has a group that meets on Cleveland's west side and another group that meets on the west side of Cleveland. Both groups have close ties with each other We are a support group geared toward attracting new people. While many chapter members are undergoing or have completed formal speech therapy programs, the NSP is not a therapy group and talking is voluntary. NSA meetings are a safe place to take risks; to try out new communiction behaviors; share feelings, and be open about our speech and our lives as people who stutter.

    Extractions: "Little Gidding," T.S. Eliot T his Web site explores many of the dimensions of stuttering and its effect on the human identity, as well as the development of stuttering behavior. It also includes an exploration of the "veils" (self images, projections, and lack of consciousness) that people who stutter use to (unconsciously) cope with the disorder, just as all humans use "veils" to cope with other disturbing or discordant aspects of reality. In the course of doing this, I'll explore some of the reasons why stuttering seems so mysterious, and try to show how a lot of this mystery can begin to be resolved by acknowledging the experience of people who stutter specifically, the feeling that stuttering involves an intermittent, uncontrollable, inhibition or disruption of speech

YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS Howard Stern Jay Leno or Create your own Manage alerts What is this? Melendez will start March 29, replacing Edd Hall, who's leaving the show after 12 years to concentrate on doing movies. He is working with a speech coach to control his stutter, a "Tonight Show" spokeswoman told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Besides announcing, Melendez will be in sketches and will go out on interviews. Melendez is famous for embarrassing the people he talks to, but he won't be doing that sort of interview for Leno, the spokeswoman said. "Tonight Show" executives became interested in Melendez after seeing him on the ABC reality show "I'm a Celebrity: Get Me out of Here." The spokeswoman said Melendez came across as a "peacemaker" and "family man."

    Extractions: (CNN) Nicholas Brendon is best known for his role as the wisecracking Xander on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." But a speech disorder almost thwarted the actor's rise to stardom when he was about 8 years old he realized he stuttered. "I realized it, because I couldn't talk anymore," Brendon recalls. "I noticed I was having a hard time communicating and I became a little shy." Brendon says he was determined to achieve his life-long goal, despite his stutter. "I always wanted to be an actor, but with a speech impediment it's kind of tough. I decided to roll the dice and take an acting class, which was very, very nerve-wracking... my stomach would just be in knots." In acting class, Brendon discovered one key to dealing with his stutter.

Doing a deal in your own language is one thing, but in a foreign language it can be quite another. Yet these days, with global marketing at record levels and where one in three jobs depends to some extent on international trade, executives are being asked to get out there and talk the talk. In the past studying a foreign language for business used to conjure up horrible images of repetitive high school classes full of CEOs studying verb conjugation. But now a whole armory of products exists out there to assist you fumbling around with a pocket phrasebook is a thing of the past.
