complains, the way he does
not distinguish when his

Zev, a high school student
is hoarse, and getting hoar-

hardly hear him. He is ash-
amed to speak up in class
and is becoming sullen and
withdrawn.

Doron, a delightful five
year old, stutters when he
talks, the words coming out
in a jumble. His mother
knows he is hyper-active;

he can't sit still, but she
has no idea that it has to do
with the way he speaks.
All share in common a
