MCLEAN, Virginia (AFP) – when the envelopes are opened on Sundays at the Academy Awards in Hollywood, Keiko Brown will be rooting for "the King's Speech" to take home best picture, best actor, best everything.
Daughter of 17-year-old Brown Melanie shots, as did the King George VI, which is played in the movie by British actor Colin Firth.
The mother of a child who stutters, "King's Speech," which was nominated for multiple Oscars including best picture and best actor for Firth, has gone a long way towards teaching people with fluid discourse on high-stress world of balbuzienti.
"I think if you take an Oscar, is good," said Brown.
"First, no one really understands," said the native of Japan while she sat in the waiting room d ' therapist Vivian Sisskin, University of Maryland speech disorder expert who had just led Melanie and three other teenage girls with uses through a therapy session of one hour.
"Say they understand, but I don't think I really understand what they suffer and how much stress have every single day," Brown said, his eyes fixed on Melanie, sitting at his side.
"Speech of King" is based on the true story of how a speech therapist helped George VI controlling severe stuttering, permanent to permit monarch to deal with the British people as it prepared to enter the second world war.
The National Stuttering Association hailed as an "accurate representation of the people that balbettano through the storyline of a real-life hero."
Debbie Grinstead, mother of a 16-year-old Claire, called "the King's Speech" a "burden lifting experience for those who balbettano," while his daughter, whose speech disorder includes language click, deserved an Oscar said Firth only to have the courage to step into the skin of a stuttering.
"The stuttering is so stressful."If you get that kind of stress on yourself, I think it deserves, said.
Balbuzienti are often thought to be silly and nervous, but the four girls in therapy with Sisskin are anything but.
Jacqueline Speiser, 16, is an "A" student at the best school in the United States, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Virginia.
Started the treatment with Sisskin about four months ago, after he realized "I was ruining my Spanish course, advanced." why would stutter during presentations
Melanie wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Claire wants to be a genetic counselor and Dina Trembinsky, 16, has his eye on a job in advertising and communication.
Some speakers fluids--mistakenly--assume that uses is caused by abusive parents, or is a psychological disorder.
But a study published last year, the New England Journal of Medicine found that they could could be linked to defects in three genes.
"When you meet someone who clicks, it is like meeting someone with another condition that were born with or have a predisposition to develop, such as asthma or diabetes," said Sisskind.
Jane Fraser, President of the stuttering Foundation of America, said the "Discourse of King" has created a "tsunami awareness" of fear and stress, stuttering brings to patients and their families.
"My father was a very serious stuttering and only now are my cousins and aunts and uncles calls me and saying," now we understand what your father has gone through, now we understand why you are doing the work you are doing, ' "Fraser said AFP.
"Even close family members never understood the horror that was for him--and for me, waiting for him to leave his words. As a child, would sit there and get so tense in anticipation of those words to come out and agonize over what I could do to help get them out. "
The stuttering tends to come in between the ages of two and five, but in almost 80% of cases, the baby heals spontaneously from his stuttering.
Sitting on the sofa off-white in the waiting room of Sisskind, Irina Tremblinsky wondered if she could have prevented stammer of daughter Dina "by dealing with it right away when we noticed that she stuttered, when he was two years."
"But the pediatrician told us not to worry, you are too small. So we waited, and we have most likely waited too long, "he said.
Keiko Brown wanted a miracle that would have allowed to trade places with Melanie.
"If we can go and I stutter from now on, it doesn't bother me," he said. "But his life is from now on. And you have to go through so much. "
