Echoed Words is a 1/2 half hour documentary with a powerful first-person perspective on the impacts of a person’s life who stutters, and how to find ways to manage the disorder to ease their everyday life. Through a range of first-hand experiences, a graduating high school student reveals the devastating effects of stuttering and his motivation for seeking help.
As Jayan delves into his the arc of emotions and experiences, family members provide insights into the condition as reflected in the family dynamics. He explains how he discovered a place to help with his lifelong disorder, and we follow him as he attends a three-day intensive refresher treatment program . At the conclusion, we see the changes that can happen even in such a short time frame, and learn how Jayan feels to be able to become more confident in his everyday life and further improve his speech fluency, and how this changes his life for the positive.
