From Stutters to Strengths: A Conversation on Finding Your Voice (with Jason Heffler)
Manage episode 484448388 series 3579040
Join Leta, Amanda, and guest Jason Heffler on the Leta’s Tap Styles this Friends’ Friday. Jason joins us to discuss his children’s book, Tongue Tied. Tongue Tied is the story of Cadence, a chameleon who is shy and is often bullied for her speech impediment. Jason based Cadence’s story on his experiences with stuttering and bullying.
Through personal stories, we explore the effects of bullying, and why speech impediments don’t need to be “fixed”, but need to be understood and accepted.
