To what extent do you think of a child’s stuttering as a deficient form of speaking when compared to “normal”? To what extent do you think of a child’s stuttering as central to their identity? David and Mama Sanchez answer these questions from the perspectives of both parent and person who stutters, and they share how their views have changed over time. They wrap up the show with a hilarious “Top 10 Show Names We Considered Before Stutter. Podcast. Repeat.”
*The “Illness vs. Identity” theme is borrowed from the book Far From the Tree by Andrew Solomon. SPR adapted the theme for the purposes of discussing stuttering and creating the “Illness vs. Identity Grid.”
**Check out the “Illness vs. Identity Grid” activity used in this episode on the SPR website and on Instagram (below).
