Inspiration from Dr. Charles Van Ripper I found these two articles on Dr. Van Riper, a pioneer in the field of speech language pathology, extremely interesting and inspiring. As a young adult with many apprehensions about the future and the impact that Stuttering can have on my life, his story helped encourage me tremendously. From 2 suicide attempts, he went on to lead a full and happy life, and to leave behind a rich legacy which benefited so many lives. Hope these articles will inspire you too!✨🧡 https://ahn.mnsu.edu/services-and-centers/center-for-communication-sciences-and-disorders/services/stuttering/therapy-for-stuttering/suicide-information-and-resources/the-joyous-pathfinder-charles-van-riper---1905-1994/ https://ahn.mnsu.edu/services-and-centers/center-for-communication-sciences-and-disorders/services/stuttering/therapy-for-stuttering/suicide-information-and-resources/by-charles-van-riper---on-the-end-of-his-life/!
