Ten years earlier, the movie The King’s Speechelicited similar interest. The movie depicts how his speech therapist helped King George VI control stuttering during his first radio broadcast. The movie won four Academy Awards and 12 Oscar nominations. A list of stutters compiled at Minnesota State University cites nearly 200 historical and contemporary people along with their notable achievements. The list includes famous actors, sports stars, politicians, singers, musicians, writers and others. Clearly, stuttering is not an insurmountable barrier to achievement. However, research findings indicate that many adults who stutter also experience psychological problems. These include anxiety, depression and social phobia, as well as applying stigma about stuttering to their self-identity.
