[QUOTE="Steely, post: 498002, member: 3301"] I have heard singing works amazingly well...in fact there are famous singers who are stutterers in real life. Another famous stutterer Bob Newhart says he doesn't stutter as much when acting. Could you have the little boy make it into a song? Or do a little pantomime with him? I would also teach him sign language - I believe that is one line of protocol used with these kids, but I am unsure. My last thought would be to have him draw out what he trying to tell you. Maybe a combo of all 4 of these at different times - I think the idea is to get the words out of his language center and into other communicative parts of the brain. [/QUOTE]
