These are my strategies. 1. Use a "filler" word and link the word with the blocking sound to the fillers last sound \- like they were one word 2. Replace the word with a different one \- stutterers must be great when it comes to synonym quizzes 3. Stop BEFORE the block occurs, exhale and inhale, and then try it with easy onset 4. Tap with my finger and say the word I want to say to the rhythm of my tapping
