Some Stutter, Luh! S4:E7: Philip Rodrigues

Описание: Philip Rodrigues was born and lives in Toronto, to two Portuguese immigrants who were fluent in English. Philip is married, with two dogs and works in IT field. He bikes and plays video games in his spare time. Early on before starting junior kindergarten Philip was identified to have a speaking disability including a prominent stutter, lisp and delayed development in his ability to form full sentences. He worked with an SLP 1-1 and participated in special education up until grade 3-4 in school. After this he had no further issues. Philip no longer has a stutter or lisp, but can't help but feel as though he continues to use verbal crutches to prop up his ability to speak today. Today, Philip is a reserved and quiet individual. This may be related to his early hesitation to speak up in case and feared that he could not effectively communicate his thoughts. His wife says that while he is quiet and reserved, he is surrounded by incredibly chatty and outgoing people including herself and his immediate family so she thinks secretly he is also one.
