Her main focus is being comfortable expressing herself. I like her SLP a lot because her focus is the same. We don't whisper about stuttering. It's just a thing. She knows she has a choice to try to w...

I wouldn't think prefacing people is that bad, especially at this stage when a weird look as can affect them more than feeling they need you to preface for other people, but I would also encourage her...

This is good advice. I have always been a fast talker. I also had my own speech issues as a child. I do think we tend to stress each other out if one of us is irritated or excited. I am very good at...

The best advice i could give, apart from keeping her in speech therapy would be to speak a little bit slower with her. When i speak to someone who seems stressed out or is talking fast i always subcon...

Keep an eye out to see if she's just going covert (i.e. Switching words, pretending not to know answers to avoid talking, etc...). In my experience, girls are more likely to be covert than guys, espe...

I usually get that treatment too, everybody else is type A personality. I guess I stutter a lot more if I'm being questioned, or if something is equally stressful. Sometimes I will just block really b...

I have a stammer and dyslexia. Only advice I can give is tell her to take a deep breath, ease very gently into a word, speak slowly, and take a breath every several words....

Stuttering Horror Stories?

Stuttering Horror Stories? I'm a moderate stutterer with blocks in hard sounding consonants such as the letter 'P.' I have one experience that stands out in my mind. I was ordering food in front of a...

I'd say it's genetic, I don't think anything can trigger it tbh. I had quite a physically abusive stepdad and learnt how to take a beating but I don't think it had anything to do with it. I have it ...

If I'm not making eye contact I can sorta get by without stuttering....

Being alone typically helps too. These are quite common "feats" for us. It basically just means we're not in the same type of communication situation that we're in when our stutter manifests the wors...

Believe it or not but I can actually force myself no to stutter. Problem is its like a chess match and i have to think ten words ahead and speak in a montonous emotionllesss tone. But it works...

I guess the only "positive" I can think of is we choose our words very carefully and speak only when necessary. I don't like people who talk about nonsense for twenty minutes straight. ...

eh, i'd still rather be able to do something as "simple" as talking without stuttering but maybe thats just me...

Yes. :) It also makes us, at least myself, have a bigger vocabulary because I use different words that mean the same thing but are easier to say....

I'm an SLP and a person who stutters. Those are all "bilabial" sounds, which means you put your lips together to produce them. I have issues with /k/ and /g/...also produced in the same spot but one u...

We don´t call them doner kebabs where i live so it would sound kinda weird. But i have actually pronounced it "Chebab" once and it was much easier to say. When i ordered a kebab earlier today i felt t...

I love talking, i just hate stuttering. My stutter keeps me from doing what i love. ...

Yeah i also have problems with some sounds. I can usually order food at restaurants just fine. But whenever i have to say kebab i choke up. ...

I just made a little discovery for my stutter

I just made a little discovery for my stutter I've always had a problem with three specific sounds when speaking, in addition to my regular, not very severe stutter. The m, p and especially b sounds h...
