Fluency (Stuttering):
I wasn't able to do this as I forgot to calendar it. Another concern, may have been sub-conscious, my son has a hearing and speech delay. I live with watching and supporting him each day. Some of these interactions are difficult, some comical. I would never have him think that I was either mocking or making fun of him. I know that he is very self-critical and always tries his best and please those around him.
This is an important exercise though. I don't think that most people generally give it much thought and would be surprised at some of the reactions and/impatience shown them by clerks, waiters, or other professionals. I am glad that Eli has made and continues to make both remarkable strides and improvements. Many, on short acquaintance, have no idea of any disability or seemed lacking at all. I can hope, work and pray that this continues, relying on the blessings, which both or each of us have received. There's definitely hope. It is a matter of doing our best and through continuing to do better, each and every day.
