Chapters & learning objectives
1. Helping Students Educate Peers About Stuttering and Bullying
The more other children understand about stuttering, the less likely they are to engage in bullying behaviors. Chapter one will present several strategies for educating peers about stuttering.
2. Helping Parents Create a Supportive Home Environment
Parents provide the “first line of defense” for helping to insulate children who stutter from the effects of bullying.
3. Helping Teachers and Administrators Create A Supportive Educational Environment
Teachers can play an important role in creating an environment where it is okay to stutter but not okay to bully other children because of stuttering (or anything else). Chapter three will review specific ways in which teachers can help to create a supportive environment and help the child who stutters in the classroom.
