I am wondering if anyone has any problems with their child stuttering? My son is 14 and 1/2 and stutters very badly. I wonder if there is any relation between the two?
Thank you

Re: Stuttering
I've never heard of a link between a BPI and stuttering.
Usually, stuttering is believed to be caused by a genetic predisposition and other factors like anxiety while speaking. It can be from neurogenic causes, but if your son hasn't had any serious medical problems lately or been in an accident, I doubt that's the cause for him.
When did your son start stuttering? If you'd like, I can send you some more links and articles about stuttering causes and interventions. Is he receiving speech therapy for it at the moment?

Re: Stuttering
yes - there can be a link
we had explosive onset stuttering with Maia when she was around 2 1/2 years old --- I have a long explanation that I can give you about this but I'm not used to a laptop that I'm using temporarily and I'm having a hard time typing... I'll be home next week and if you post your email I'll be glad to explain why and what I learned about this
if you need to know sooner - you can call me at (215) 872-4749

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
