Not me, but my PROMPT instructor stuttered and she was awesome. That’s three days of intensive training/presentation. She also shared therapy videos in which she was disfluent. I don’t see why stutter...

I feel your pain, anguish and sense of isolation as a person who stutters. It started at the age of 5 (vicious dog attack) and I still have it today. I've had 20 years of speech therapy which has r...

It’s a remarkable film. The speech therapist in the film uses many common speech techniques. It gave me a lot of confidence to see how a king (!) could still rule a land and be given respect, despite...
