Long term, try a different speech therapy. Speech therapy comes in all different forms. Try something different. Near term, seek out psychological / mental health assistance. You're suffering. If you...

Most speech "therapy" is shit. And yes it's still politically correct to make fun of stuttering and dismiss it. Ive felt the same way like id rather not talk and just be mute or just end my life. Im r...

HCRI is shit (for the vast vast majority). Sorry you wasted your money. I went to a similar program that worked there and failed when I went back to my life. There are other therapies that don't focus...

Pretty much on the mental health. It's on the bucket list. And I didn't even think that the stuttering could be bad! I'll go speak to my GP about it soon, thanks!...

It sounds like you know that you should speak to a mental health professional. But I don't know that that's going to assist you with your recent onset stuttering. Developing a stutter at your age and...

Ask for the teacher to waive the exam for you. It's a reasonable accommodation. Or to offer you an alternative exam method. What country do you live in? In the USA, you might consider getting a 504 ...

Any chance they could do a buddy system and say their parts in groups? Also, I concur with those who said to collaborate with a SLP who specializes in stuttering....

Seek out a professional SLP that's specializes in stuttering. Making such a connection for that family may be life-changing for that young lady. I think one of the best things somebody in your positi...

Collaborate with a speech-language pathologist that is educated in treating the social/emotional aspects of stuttering and refer her to them....

The poster above is right. And you are right too, it is hard to know who actually knows how to help. Even many stuttering focused therapists don't get it and primarily focus on fluency and teach techn...

Money is definitely a problem for me. Thats why i couldn't go to therapy at a young age and just recently started since i got a job. I have tried 3 therapists and none of them are really helpful. I ju...

This makes a lot of sense. Since there are not many speech therapists close to me, i only had a handful of choices and some were kinda bad. Its really hard to know who'd help....

Most speech therapists are actually not trained to help stutterers (they are more trained to help ppl with articulation problems). It’s not your fault it’s not working. You have to find someone who ...

I don't know if you like gambling(I mean speech therapy is kinda like gambling)or have enough money. If one therapy can't help, you can considering conducting multiple therapies so it's very not money...

I'm not in America or moving to. I just refer to sign as asl altogether. The languages in both countries are different and i stutter severely on both, so kinda unlucky on that part haha. I'm going t...

So if I understood it correctly:You are using ASL in America now you gotta move out to another country so your ASL will misfire? Then your question is essentially:How to lead a normal life with a sev...

I have been going to therapy for the past few months. Tried 2 different therapists last year as well but it's not working out for me so far. Will continue though...

Facing a similar situation buddy. Would in all probability be moving out this winter for education related reasons. Not exactly sure how I would cope up with this lovely, flourishing condition that we...

I had to find good therapy and get some handle on my speech before moving out alone. I will say most people around me are nicer and more patient than I thought. Can't say much other than to look for g...

Speech therapy with an SLP that specializes in stuttering. Even if you've tried therapy before, consider trying it again. Find a different program or therapist. Kind of like with smoking and the "d...
