The author stuttered growing up. A fictional autobiography of the Roman emperor Claudius, who lived from 10 B.C. to 54 A.D. Claudius survived the violent and treacherous reigns of his relatives Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula because he stuttered and was thought to be feeble-minded. Claudius maintains a positive attitude in the face of ridicule and cruel insults, because of early advice from a wise mentor that his disabilities would cause others to not take him seriously, and he would outlive his tormentors. George survived the scandals of his brother Edward's abdication, was thrust into a role to which he was thought unsuited, and surprised everyone by becoming one of the most capable and loved modern kings. A good collection of articles for speech pathologists.
Articles cover preschool, school-age, adult stuttering, cluttering, and neurogenic stuttering.
They are all easy to read and inexpensive. Several books available in Spanish and French translations. The National Stuttering Association sells a variety of books about stuttering. For Speech-Language Pathologists is a free weekly newspaper for speech pathologists and audiologists. It prints articles on stuttering fairly often, and devotes the second issue in May entirely to stuttering.
