Fantastic film! Colin Firth does an excellent job as a stutterer. I especially like that the film is realistic in that although his stutter improves, it’s not something that’s portrayed as “curable.” ...

Honestly? Probably not- the most recent research that really changed the way for SLPs and just research about stuttering is from 2012/2014/2015/2017/2018 Before like in 2003-there were still thoughts...

What’s awful is you met that one speech therapist. You also have to consider for the majority of SLP life, non-stutterers were teaching them! Relying on kids to do intervention is a way to try and be ...
