Do employers descriminate against stutterers?

Do employers descriminate against stutterers? I'm only 14 but I've still been losing sleep over this for a while. I have an awful stutter, realistically, what are the chances of me getting a job as op...

I already sent a message to tchemie, but for anyone else that would like to practice cold calling, or anything business related, or talking practice, let me know please. I am a mild stutterer, and usu...

I'm willing to try it out too. I know there's a google+ hangout for this too but I'm never free when they have these things. ...

Good point. I agree a lot of the times I do feel more annoyed than anything else. I'm admire you don't feel those things and didn't mean to imply stutters have low self-esteem. I block and repeat, but...

The feelings people get while they block is pretty different. My stuttering is a little worse than this, and when i block im more like "omg this is so annoying" than actually getting all of the things...

When I watch someone else stutter I know how they are feeling (shame, embarrassment, frustration, loss of control, helplessness) because that's how I feel when blocking. I just want them so bad to be ...

I am this way as well. For me, when words start with an "a" or "e" (which many of them in Spanish do) I have an easier time with them. Weird....

Speech therapists: the good, the bad, and the ugly

Speech therapists: the good, the bad, and the ugly I'm an SLP who is trying to learn more about fluency and I really enjoy this subreddit. It sounds like most people here have had at *least* one exper...

No offense, but I would rather not put where I worked at on here, for privacy reasons. I will say that it was east coast. Anyway, I was nervous as shit when my first lesson came up, but honestly I h...

Should I?

Should I? I'm going to high school next year and have been placed with a choice. I can either continue speech or stop it. I'm thinking of stopping it. I feel comfortable that if I do I won't face any ...

thats very good and im quite happy for you. He's gone to this program several years ago and done a few refreshers, but he still doesn't have great control and even though he uses the technique more th...

He's probably doing that on purpose. One of the techniques many use to build a good foundation is to intentionally over-do everything so that it holds up in tight situations. He should be able to move...

You're right, doing it on the street is a whole other level. I assume the coaches speak fluently because they've practiced so much they can do the "controlled normal" or whatever it is you call it. B...

As far as courses go, this is international and very legitimate. I've met several people who have done it and so far no one has slammed it....
