You are making important steps not only in your training program, but also in documenting the need. I have two questions. You said that treatment for speech-language problems is rarely offered in the elementary schools in Brazil. It seems to me that a strong self-help organization might help not only those who stutter, but also provide support for your efforts in the educational institution. Comments Judy, unhappily we don't have any type of speech-language assistance in Brazilian public schools, nor for stuttering, nor for other communication disorders.
Some private schools offer that attendance.
We have special schools for children with more serous problems. We don't also have any self-help organization for stutteres . We are trying to change our social and professionals' mentality. I hope our Lab, in a near future, could offer this kind of service and support. Thank you for the questions.
