Thank you so much. I'll look him up for sure. We do deep breaths before speaking and we have all slowed down our rate of speech so he feels more comfortable. His stutter is directly related too or get...

I doubt Toastmastets would help with his stutter. Stuttering is neurological in origin. Physical actions like therapy can mitigate it, but they don't get rid of it. Toastmasters is neither, it's for...
