Recently graduating college, I feel your pain when it comes to saying your name in class, reading aloud, etc. Even though it can be excruciatingly tough and challenging, every little bit of exposure ...

Help... So this is the situation. I can speak perfectly fine at home in front of my family and barely stutter. But, when I am in social situations with strangers, my stutter comes up. Also, when I'm g...

Wow that’s inspiring to hear! I imagine high school kids can be far more ruthless than college students too. That’s good advice, that will certainly ease some tension in the room. I’m up for a challen...

Thank you so much, I appreciate it :) I’m applying for grad school right now and might have some questions about that at some point. I’m sure i’ll have some teaching questions as the quarter progresse...

Thank you for the amazing advice, I really appreciate it! I’ll be leading independent study groups, so anywhere from 1 student to 120. That’s kinda the part that scares me, there’s so many unknown f...

Happened to me as well, I spoke with the teacher beforehand and when she did not yield, I went to to the principal. I was given reasonable accommodations and I got through it. Good luck...

Have you spoken to your teacher about your stutter? When I did speaking tests they spoke to me about it and were lenient on hesitations and fluency. If they aren't willing to do this you should talk...

explain your situation to the teacher after class, get a note from parents to explain it. Most of the teachers I've had have been pretty chill towards me...

Do you have an IEP for your speech? If so, that should be the end of it. If not, start working up the food chain....
