We're talking about kids who have gone through the lengthy/stringent special education evaluation process- very little chance of students faking that convincingly enough. I personally could see givin...

Students who stutter - accommodations in the classroom?

Students who stutter - accommodations in the classroom? Just wondering if you guys request any accommodations or exceptions for talking in class or giving speeches, etc. Like not having to read aloud,...

it worked for me at first but then I guess i developed a tolerance to it to where it was more of a hinderance (could barely hear what people would say) ...

Considering how expensive the device is, I'd recommend not getting it. Not just solely because of the price, but because it works temporarily. After upwards of 6 months or so your brain adjusts and it...

Yeah this is bullshit, sorry. /stutterer...

**tl;dr It's good that you're trying to help, but you might want to talk to actual stutterers before assuming you can solve their problems.** I've heard this many, many times before. Not only that, a...

How I think stuttering is solved...

How I think stuttering is solved... Stutters who "block" unconsciously hold their inhale. They don't exhale when they are blocking. Fluent speakers unconsciously exhale as soon as their lungs are at a...

Has anyone's stutter changed since childhood? (Evolved?)

Has anyone's stutter changed since childhood? (Evolved?) When I was younger (been stuttering for as long as I can remember) I would stutter like so: "M-m-m-mom c-can we go to th-the m-movies?" Around...

No problem. Glad to (try to) help....

Light contact involves just barely bringing your articulators (lips, tongue, teeth, roof of your mouth-- the oral mechanisms that make contact to form consonants for speech) together when you reach a ...

I always disclose my stutter. It lessens any fear I have about the possible reaction I may receive when I block and usually that helps smooth out my speech :) I would also recommend therapy and lookin...

I thought you were my husband until you mentioned a daughter, as he is also 31 this year, and his biggest problem is blocking. For what it's worth, I have never heard of a single person who had the im...

I know your struggle my friend, all too well. This is very hard advice, because it's very difficult, but you just have to stop caring so much. Trust me, it took me about a decade to stop giving a sh...

You've summed up my life perfectly. I'm in the process of starting to live for myself, without letting my stuttering hold me back. It's been a hard path, but worrying about it is just so exhausting an...

I've never tried light-contact before. Can you elaborate? Also, I keep telling myself that I'll tell people that I stutter (in cases of doing a presentation), but I can never actually get myself to d...

HCRI doesn't work for someone so don't get your hopes pinned on it. IMO, its a pretty specific therapy program and one that doesn't work for me....

Firstly, I know how you feel. I don't want to give you a pep talk, im sure others will do that so i'll cut to the chase. What is your current situation? are you living at home? does your family have ...

This is great advice, thank you. When I block, all I can think of is the word / sound I'm stuck on - I try to hit it faster, like an obstacle to jump over and that just makes it worse. Tomorrow (it's...

I go through good phases, where my speech is actually pretty good. I'll happily pick up the phone and talk to whoever (they can't see the weird expressions that are needed!). It's the bad phases that ...
