Library DVDs available to aid teens with stuttering

Libraries in Muskogee and Warner have received DVDs to help teens cope with stuttering.

It features students from junior high through college talking about their experiences with stuttering and what they found helpful.

“It’s meant to encourage teens, to tell them that there is hope out there,” said Peter Ramig of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

The DVD is produced by the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation.

Ramig will appear on the DVD with Dr. Barry Guitar of the University of Vermont and Dr. Hugo Gregory of Northwestern University.

They answer questions about stuttering, refute myths and misconceptions, and present examples of therapy sessions showing how stuttering can be reduced.
