As well as focusing on the speech therapy aspect, work on (or refer your students) to a therapist. Stutterers often face a daily level of terror and anxiety about stuttering. Honestly I feel sometimes like all the tears spent trying to “fix” my speech just reinforces that there’s something wrong with me. This is not the case. I am now a fully functional, well adjusted attorney who stutters. I wish I hadn’t spent so many years being terrified of what everyone else things. Whether or not I stutter and what the world thinks of me - F it!!!! 👍
