Local doco Stutter School screens as part of the Untold Australia anthology this week on SBS.
This a Southern Pictures production for SBS.
Stuttering affects 1 in 100 Australians. Most of us don’t think twice about asking someone for directions or ordering a meal, but what if the words just won’t come out? This documentary follows four brave Australian stutterers, the youngest aged just 12 and the oldest 64, on a once-in-a-lifetime make-or-break journey to find their voice. Over four confronting, intensive and emotionally charged days, they will be pushed to breaking point. Will they succeed? And how could it transform their lives?
8:30pm Tuesday on SBS.

Loved it. I really felt for them when they had to approach strangers; I hate doing that even without a stutter.
I have had the same problem, but I wondered about the repeat students, and I guess that they have to have a refresher course. I did the same type of course many years ago and I found that after a while you te d to slip into old comfortable ways. But the course that I did helped me. I felt for the students having been there and can only hope that the courses continue, and people have a bit more time for sufferers, instead of laughing at you and when that happens you just want to hide. Thanks to SBS.
Sounds like a a copy of a program Sandi Toksvig did in the UK last year …..
