As I said in another comment, Biden is fluent as hell compared to me. I guess my level of stuttering is extreme, then. My fluency still sucks in spite of taking speech therapy....

Please, do not let your stutter make your life decisions. There will always be these hurdles. If you avoid them, you won't get to where you want to go. I always advocate for speech therapy. Not all s...

Hi everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who has voted and commented. I really appreciate all you have shared!! I just want to clarify that I recognize that stuttering is not simply a physical thi...

It’s standard practice in Grad school AFAIK. My class has to do it too, and our Prof stuttered, and is one of the “big names” in the field. Heck we even did it in a class during Undergrad. It’s not...

I heard from an SLP in norway that they had to pretend to have a stutter while out on restaurants etc, to get a small glimpse of how it affects your life. I think that's great. Obviously it's okay f...

By "pretending" you're learning how it physically feels to experience stuttering. By having that understanding of what is happening in the mouth, the activation of muscles, tensions etc. it can allow ...

I worked as a strength and conditioning coach for wheelchair athletes for a while. One of the first things I did during my training for that was actually do some of their workouts in a wheelchair, eve...

Not really offensive. I have seen case where the prof asks you to stutter in front of random people in public and that I find not necessarily offensive but tacky. You can't choose when to stutter or w...

You need to be able to show your clients what they are doing when thry are stuttering or using maladaptive speaking behaviors. If someone is using insertions or hanging out on a sound without moving o...

If you were doing it just for fun outside of class, sure it's offensive. Since the professor is trying to get you to understand the muscle movements, the way the tongue and lips move (or lack thereof)...

Speech-Language Pathology student looking for perspectives! Hello there r/Stutter! I am a Speech-Language Pathologist in training and have a question for your community. I am currently taking a clas...

It was actually kind of a weird set of circumstances that connected me with this particular doctor. I was getting into a lot of trouble in my early teens. Home, school, and then some serious legal tro...

Thanks for explaining. That was a very interesting read. That's not something you do in your "regular" speech therapy (or at least I have never heard of it)....

Sorry to hear your experiences with speech therapy haven't helped you achieve your goals. That sucks. The program I experienced was also 1:1 therapy. But it was a 'rebuild from the ground up' program...

It was purely 1:1 therapy focused on teaching/applying techniques. It personally frustrated me because all these do is eventuate to someone speaking at a slower rate with a softer tone. This is not n...

It sounds like you've had a lot of speech therapy. May I ask? I'm curious, did they teach you techniques to use, or did they put you through a program relearn fluent speech?...

Ive gone through about 4-5 diff SLPS from childhood and only recent had one about 2 years ago in my mid twenties. It was really demoralizing since none of the concepts/techniques were new. I feel the ...

Good advice. Not everyone can achieve fluency though, but I dearly hope for the OP a change would do good. I don't have 100% fluency, not by a long shot, but speech therapy in my late teens/early 20s ...

Please read the whole thing I know it's a little long but I wanted to give you a little more insight instead of just saying Yes or No. :) In my life I've been to about 5 or 6 speech therapist, and I'...

GO TO SPEECH THERAPY. it may or may not work for you, but if it does then it’ll be life changing. For me personally it did not because my source of stuttering was something unrelated to what the thera...
