Did you go to speech therapy? Did it help? Why or why not?

Did you go to speech therapy? Did it help? Why or why not? I am a student who is studying to be a speech pathologist (AKA speech therapist). I have read some threads about stuttering and sometimes com...

I too stutter and play trombone! well I used too... Anyway, I definitely know what you are talking about. Its like trying to play 16th notes and double tonguing is the hardest thing to do. Just enjo...

Just to preface this, vowels have not been my consistently most difficult sounds to say. However, I do block on vowels once in a while. I just started working on laryngeal blocks with my speech thera...

*So why do I stutter at-all? Surely it cannot be genetic if my father and mother do not stutter? How far back do genes/genetics even go?* You should familiarize yourself with Mendelian genetics and t...
