Many misperceptions surround stuttering. Some believe it's a mental illness, while others consider stuttering and other speech impediments as a sign of lower than average intelligence.

In accessible language, it offers clear, concise information that affirms the abilities and self-esteem of young people who stutter, combining medical, professional, and practical viewpoints.
