hii! i started my first day of junior year maybe a week ago what helped me during the whole "introduce yourself" activity in every class was- 1. like the person who made the first comment, using a shorter version of my name. my name is alina and I often get a block when I try and start a sentence with any word starting with a so I said my name was lin! 2. I noticed that if I do a little surprised gasp right before I begin my sentence it flows better but under my breath of course. 3. sometimes if I know im having a hard day with my stutter I'll put a little beat in my head and or tap that beat on my arm or leg (wherever) subtly and kind of guide my sentence with that
