As a speech language pathologist who stutters, it pains me to see so many people recounting negative or ineffective experiences with speech therapy. A sad truth is that many SLPs are lacking in experience with dysfluency and much of their education on stuttering therapy comes from a single class in grad school. My recommendation would be to find an SLP that specializes in stuttering. www.stutteringspecialists.org has a list of SLPs who have advanced training in fluency disorders. The Stuttering Foundation also maintains a list at www.stutteringhelp.org/therapy-referrals Finally, dig into parent resources from www.westutter.org. There are also support groups, intensive programs, camps, etc for people who stutter of all ages and those who support them. We have come a long way in terms of what we know about what works and what doesn't for stuttering therapy even compared to 10-20 years ago. Feel free to DM. Happy to chat!
