>Can you share what your SLP taught you that helped you achieve fluency? Yes (and no.) Let's start with "no." Nothing I share can help you 'try' techniques that might improve your fluency. It would be akin to describing what a piano teacher taught me, and the reader expecting to be able to learn to play piano. On to "yes." I've been asked this before, so you can read through this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/okaf40/does_speech_therapy_work/). I make numerous comments in this post, so please read the whole post to get a decent recount of my experience A few key points. 1. It's a program. A progression. It's starting with practicing exercises that you won't use in real world speech. Things upon which you'll build, but that no one else will ever see. 2. The therapist is a key part of the program. They control your progression. They tune you along the way. Making corrections and adjustments as you build. I imagine that the tailor the program to the individual as well. I'm happy to answer any and all questions. I am glad to share my experience. I advocate for speech therapy because it can and does work. I had a lot of ineffective speech therapy before I was able to get fluent. I'm repeating myself, but the therapist is a key part of the program.
