Your article was an insightful and informative account of the decreased awareness of stuttering in China. It was heartbreaking to read of a mother who felt the need to go to extreme lengths in order to help her child. Yet, as you stated, more and more concerned parents are searching for information on stuttering, and it seems that this quest will lead to better awareness of this issue. Also, based on your narrative, more treatment programs have recently been developed, more universities are developing speech and hearing science programs, and more self-help groups have been created. It seems like these small steps are bringing China closer to changes in awareness, education, and treatment of stuttering.
