Not suggesting it's a cure. Read what I wrote: >I'm not suggesting that there is a magic bullet out there for stutterers. But I know that most of us can make great strides and improve our fluency. If therapy can improve your ability, keep at the therapy. I'll always be a stutterer. But I can achieve high levels of fluency. I've done so. I've worked with people day in and day out for months before they were present for a disfluent moment. My son has a physical disability. He will never walk without crutches. He's never going to run. But therapy keeps him on his feet. It keeps him out of a wheelchair. It keeps him more limber than if he quit therapy. It frustrates me when people claim "speech therapy doesn't work for everyone" as though speech therapy has no merit for some of the population. I'd argue that is a defeatist attitude. You've heard me say that speech therapy didn't work for me, until it did. If I had not gone back and tried speech therapy the last time around, I guess I'd be part of the "speech therapy doesn't work for everyone" statistic. It's my approach that if just one person on this sub listens to me advocate for speech therapy, and finds even the smallest improvement in their fluency, my time was well spent. It's my belief that my advocacy will have a great impact than that. That people might rethink therapy. That they might give it another go. That some poor kid will see themselves in my story. That they will read how I failed to work hard enough at therapy in my teens, which was the reason why therapy didn't help me then. That when I went back 10 years later, I practiced every day and achieved fluency. That speech therapy is often introduced in public schools, and that that therapy will likely be ineffective. Which gives you your first impression of how effective speech therapy is. u/FunOptimal7980 Maybe you're right. Maybe for some of us speech therapy has no chance of improving our fluency to any degree. It's not something either of us can prove one way or another. Personally, I don't believe that's true. Regardless of which of us is right or wrong... I wouldn't want to promote the idea that "speech therapy doesn't work for everyone." Too many of us already believe that it doesn't work. And I think you might agree that of those that believe speech therapy doesn't work, some of them might improve their fluency with the right speech therapy program.
