Proposal

Briefly describe your intended project:
I will be researching about how doctors and speech therapist deal with the problems with stuttering. At my high school. I will be volunteering with the special need unit in our school on Tuesday and Thursdays.

Project Outcome or Goal:
The result of my work will be more information about stuttering and a better understanding of what other people with the problems go through. I will use my knowledge gathered from volunteering and report to others my new found information.

Project Completion Strategies:
I spook with the speech therapist that comes to the school and works with the child with disabilities. we worked out a schedule when I will go every A block on Tuesday and Thursday.

Project Resources and Materials:
I will need a minimum of 30 hours of volunteer hours and an area to volunteer.

Research Topic:
My topic is stuttering and how children deal with stuttering. I chose this topic because I stutter myself and I know first hand how hard it was to go through school. Essential Question: How does stuttering affect children at school and what are proven ways that help people overcome this issue?

Prior Experience:
I myself have a speech impediment and I know a lot of people in my family that have common issues.

Research Benefits:
I will benefit from this research because I may find some more tips to control my speech or ways to keep from stuttering.

Potential Sources:
A few sources will be The National Stuttering Association and The Stuttering Foundation from these sources I will learn different people that have gone through the same issue. Another source could be my father who used to stutter a lot but overcame his speech impediment without a therapist. Finally i could use the library and all it's unlimited possibilities.
