Bottom line, if you want to be a teacher, be a teacher. Don’t let stuttering hold you back or else it’ll haunt you for the rest of your life. I’m an SLP in the schools and I feel like it’s been the b...

Like how did mine go away? As a kid, I simply outgrew it. I guess my brain adapted to whatever issue there was at least as much as it needed to for me to speak fluently. As far as it “going away” af...

I'd probably just keep stuttering but on purpose which would cause me to stutter for real if anyone said that to me. As if someone who stutters doesn't already know....

I think the problem is that it can be funny and the misconception is about what is the subject of the laugh. It is not you! Not a person. It is the word, the stuttering here and now. When I understood...

Treat it like a sport. Desensitize yourself to the pain you feel when people make fun of you. Work on battling the fear of speaking. Practice speaking as many hours a day as you can. I know it seem...
