In the United States alone, there are more than 3 million people who suffer with a stuttering disorder. The adverse effects of stuttering can devastate those suffering from the affliction, especially if they are children.

Actor Emily Blunt overcame her stutter and is an advocate for the American Institute for Stuttering. She was in Atlanta visiting with some children from the institute in November. She, along with Carl Herder, the Clinic Director for the Atlanta office of the American Institute for Stuttering, joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom.
