Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My 10-yr old child has been having speech "blocks" since he was 3 yrs old. We've seen several speech pathologists over the years in hopes of finding one who could address our concerns and give him some practical suggestions on working through his delays. It has even been narrowed down to only vowels that cause him troubles.

Now that he's 10, I feel that I should pursue "something else" to help him, but I don't know exactly what. Does anybody have any words of wisdom, experience, or knowledge of anything that I could look into to help him? A search on the Internet brought me to a program called "Fluent Speech" that has practically eliminated patients' stuttering problems. It seems too good to be true (and no cost is listed on the website either). It is at the Eastern VA Medical School in Norfolk. Have any of you who live in VA heard of this school and Dr. Ross Barrett ?

Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated. I don't want to see my child be embarrassed or lose confidence as he gets older and gets involved in more public-speaking activities. Thanks so much!
