Voice Unearthed: Hope, Help and a Wake-Up Call for the Parents

Voice Unearthed: Hope, Help and a Wake-Up Call for the Parents of Children Who Stutter

The primary message young children get in stuttering therapy is that they can and should manage their speech - in other words, try to not stutter - by utilizing speech tools and techniques. Is it possible that the anxiety this causes can create an even greater burden? Can that burden lead to excessive silence and disengagement - a far greater handicap than the stuttering itself?

Through personal narrative and extensive research, Voice Unearthed answers these questions with a resounding â€œyes!â€ It also includes practical guidance that helps keep children talking while minimizing everyoneâ€™s anxiety around communicating.

Voice Unearthed frees us from the pointless, painful chore of counting speech errors and reminds us to keep our eyes on what truly matters. Itâ€™s also a wake-up call for parents, professionals, and the entire field of speech therapy â€“ and a reminder to â€œfirst do no harm.â€
