Blog 5

http://www.stutteringhelp.org/if-you-think-your-child-stuttering

This weeks blog is about the different degrees of children stuttering and how to know the signs. This hits close to home (idiom) with me, mainly, because I have a younger sister who has a stuttering disorder. Growing up, I always wondered why she stuttered? Was it possibly because she was such a clumsy child she always hit her head? Or because as a baby she rolled off the bed? It was never clear to me especially because there is no one in our family that stuttered. Therefore, genetically, it never made much sense to me. To this day, she's had speech therapy and is such a smart student just with a minor disability. 

I like how this article has steps as to which degree a child may have stuttering to. It's factual and interesting to parents who may be confused or scared of what may be going on and could be helpful material to the regular parent who is researching before getting actual professional diagnostic. I do agree with this article because it can be of assistance to people and their families. I think it's important to the world because articles like this inform us of what other people may be going through and heir symptoms.
