According to anxietyzone.com.,a website which explores and explains many conditions and disorders,the vast majority of stammerers face bullying (欺负) and ridicule in school,a trend which is usually carried over into the workplace.
Samantha Mesango,a speech coach based in the UK,said in an interview with The Messenger newspaper that speech problems are more common than most people realize,and that The King’s Speech highlighted an important issue.“In the case of George VI,his severe stammer took away his confidence as a speaker.However,clients come to me for any number of reasons.Some simply don’t like the sound of their own voice;others are scared of speaking in public;while others feel that their accent prevents them developing professionally.”
Dr.Travis Treats,chair of Saint Louis University’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders,also picked out The King’s Speech for praise.Treats commented in an interview published on the university’s website:“The key to the movie is how one’s speech does not define what one is inside.”
“We know that those affected by stammering deserve a voice.They are worthy of acknowledgement
for all that they are capable of contributing to society,”Treats said.
Lieckfeldt agrees.“This film gives us a onceinageneration chance to create a step change in the public’s opinion of people who stammer.We’re just the same as everyone else.Sometimes we just can’t get our mouths to do what we want them to do.”
