Several Ada School students have created a "billboard" about stuttering.
The billboard gave the students to provide facts about the disorder but more importantly, gave them an opportunity to share about their feelings about stuttering.
They wanted people to know that they are "way more than kids who stutter." They chose not to have their names on the project because it could be about anyone who stutters or struggles with anything.
They created the work with assistance from Occupational Therapist, Lisa Closson and Speech Language Pathologist, Sherry Miller.
