This chapter examines the everyday struggles of individuals with disfluent speech, particularly those who stammer. It discusses the neurological underpinnings of stammering, dispelling myths about its psychological roots, and highlights representation in media through 'The King's Speech.' Additionally, it introduces an interactive game, 'Disfluent,' which aims to simulate the communication challenges faced by those with speech impediments.
"Dysfluent" is a piece of interactive fiction, all about communication. The story shows what it is like to live with dysfluency - a condition which makes it difficult to make smooth, fluent speech. How does a speech impediment create challenges in someone's life? Listen to the story, follow my choices and learn new vocabulary along the way.
