Swift eating is a type of speech fluency disorder. Fast eaters usually speak too quickly, mispronounce words, lack of rhythm/rhyme, and change topics so impermanently that others cannot understand them. However, fast eaters themselves are generally unaware of the above problems. In addition to communication difficulties in life, academics can also be affected.
Stuttering is a type of speech disorder in which airflow is blocked during speech and the inability to speak or speak fluently. Not only is it limited to speech fluency, but also includes a range of verbal and non-verbal characteristics that can lead to low self-esteem, psychological disorders, etc.

Finally, there is the long-awaited Q&A session. For the current therapist in the correction of children's stuttering, the concept is to train parents and friends to become children's exclusive rehabilitation physicians or speech pathologists, through demonstration intervention parent-child training and speech atmosphere improvement for correction, we can use remote intervention; If an adult eater has difficulty finding words/words while speaking, how can a treatment strategy be adopted? We are usually able to improve by reducing the speed of speech, and if the intelligence test has ruled out the problem of intelligence, and the reduction of the speed of speech still does not improve, we can consider learning to increase vocabulary. Speech therapists from all over the country actively asked questions, and the teachers patiently answered them, and gave professional and detailed guidance to the questions raised.
Through this public welfare activity, everyone can accept them with an inclusive and caring attitude, give them support and encouragement. Let more people know about fast eating and stuttering, inspire everyone's care for fast eating and stuttering, and help them overcome difficulties and move towards a better future. Let's join hands to pay attention to stuttering and fast eating, and make unremitting efforts to provide better and more comprehensive high-quality rehabilitation services! Volunteers who silently dedicate themselves to public welfare are no longer "lonely", we walk with you!
