Content

Stutterers do not have cerebral palsy, speech therapy could really help them to be more fluent using techniques etc. However, the goal now of speech therapy is to get the patient comfortable with their stuttering, by helping them reduce their fight/flight behaviors (freezing, long repetitions, changing words, talking less ), and by being more confident in general about his speech, that he accepts his stuttering.
