Here is an excerpt from a survey -

 

"Four out of 10 adults who stutter have been denied a job or promotion and 82 percent of children who stutter have been bullied or teased, according to a new survey by the National Stuttering Association. People who stutter make up about 1 percent of the population."

 

But there is good news as well -


"People who participate in stuttering support groups report fewer negative effects of stuttering and more successful speech therapy than those who do not. Support groups help people improve their self-confidence and develop positive attitudes about speaking and stuttering."

 

and

 

"Speech therapies that change attitudes toward speaking and stuttering are more successful than therapies that focus on speech mechanics."
