I feel the need to give some background information about this exercise. When you are trying to "fix" your stutter, what you're really doing is just trying to force the words out of your mouth, apply...

There is no per year membership, its a once of lifetime fee and is paid normally before your first course. The support groups are then usually free or you chip in for room hire. People who have been...

So from what I can remember (this was 2+ years ago now), they were trying to reinforce that after the course you can join the support groups by paying membership, which was not cheap and I think circa...

What do you mean by pyramid scheme lol? Literally run by volunteers and one director that is responsible for running the region which you can imagine involves a lot....

It's a lifetime programme, which you join by attending your first intensive course. The programme teaches people physical techniques and tools to manage a stutter, but doing so in a natural way (unlik...

I am a speech coach and course instructor on the McGuire Programme. Obviously not the same as an SLP, but my life experience and skills gained over the years, to me, make me a perfect person to be in ...

I have heard of the McGuire Program and have actually spoken to a few people from there who use the technique. Seems effective from what I heard but I nothing any technique will be exhausting after a...

McGuire Grad here as well as recently becoming the Regional Director of Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Since doing my first course it has been a life changing experience. I held of doing it ...

I am a non-stuttering SLP, but specialize in stuttering. I had a client who was very interested in hypnotherapy for stuttering, and there was a hypnotherapist in our area who claimed he could cure stu...

I also graduated from the programme. Remember that u have to keep practicing or else it will relapse. Call your coaches everyday to keep your speech in check...

How long ago did you finish the therapy? If it was indeed long ago, do you find that the techniques are still effective?...

I have stuttered for about five years. I do stutter semi-heavily, but life is doable. IMO, a speech therapist hasn't really been my cure, although the one I had gave me some techniques to bypass the s...

Yeah I never went into speech therapy until I was 20 and paid for it myself. I felt like I was good for a couple of days after the weekly session then I got worse on the other days. ...

I can totally relate with the same story – moderate/severe stutter when younger that got better through therapy in late teens so that by my early 20s, it was still somewhat noticeable, but not terribl...

Hey OP, remember you chose your moniker 'freshwarrior' for a reason. I bet it was a good one. Many fellow stutters can relate as they fight with their own fluency. Sometimes the stutter wins the ba...

I am 17 and my parents had to deal with this exact same thing ever since I was born. Just be as supportive of your child. Yeah you can take your child to a pathologist but in my several years of both ...

Well, it differs a lot per individual. What i can do is tell you what happened with me and draw your own conclusions. ​ Long ago, when I was still young, I would never really talk. I star...

Therapy, breath exercises, relaxing — all of these are good ideas and you should pursue them all. In the meantime, can you communicate more via text? I stutter more around my dad than anyone. I see ...

Intensive speech therapy can do wonders. I had the same problem and once I completed it my mom told it it was like she "got her son back." Stuttering will rob you of yourself if you let it. I'd also r...

Yeah, that's what stutter does. It's hard. You might be able to make it easier, though. You could try attending speech therapy. There are techniques that could help you. - But the understanding tha...
