The poster titled the post "reduce stuttering". There was nothing mentioned about cure other than the link to the website itself. I think going by science here is not going to help our situation as people who stutter. The only way we will learn to control our stutter is to look at people have done just that. I'd like to bring up that 73% of students in Ireland in 2014 have benefited from the mcguire program, which is touch base with the post above. I don't just mean after 1 course, but these students were continually evaluated a year after their first course. There's no other method that I've come across that has such a high percentage. My point for bringing that up is that I don't believe the people who can take advantage of such techniques and methods are in a minority (taking into account only the people who have tried such techniques). None of us are going to be fluent, because no human is 100% fluent. So we shouldn't be aiming for fluency but rather control over our speech and the ability to articulate. One of these days I plan on posting my first day video on the mcguire course along with a video of me making a speech, which was quite recently. These techniques do help, they may not work in the same way for everyone, but they can give control over your speech, that or give acceptance, which is half the battle. I feel myself disconnecting with this subreddit a lot since there's a sense here that nothing can be done about our situation and that we are stuck where we are. I don't like mentioning the mcguire program on here either as it seems to get such a bad response, as does other methods and programs. So I'm going to stand my ground here and say these methods can help people. And that if people didn't give up before they started with them just because they're not fluent then I believe there would be a much greater success rate also, not just with the mcguire program but with self therapy and other intensive courses also.
