The movie is based on the true story of attempts by His Majesty King George VI of England to overcome his speech impediment. Since its release, representatives of the Argentine Stuttering Association have appeared on television and radio. They have given information on how stammering is a disorder that can be treated.
There has also been a 30% increase in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina, of people seeking consultation in hospitals and clinics about stuttering.
Speech pathologist Ms. Julieta Castro stated that if the child receives help before the age of five and a half, the disorder usually disappears.
Our sincere appreciation, Argentine Stuttering Association, for your important assistance. May all God’s cherished children communicate with confidence and joy. http://www.globalissues.org/news/2011/02/28/8697 http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=54654
