Worst: getting into a whole ass argument with this girl over wether or not it was ok to make fun of someone with a stutter. I’m not kidding. Best: last week. I was in speech therapy and just having ...

I recently did a presentation on stuttering in college. One thing I enjoyed talking about was the treatments, especially the ones that I've been taught by SLP's that don't work and are just bogus. Ano...
