SLPs sometimes to specific CBT for stuttering. Might be worth discussing....

It sounds like you have done a lot of proactive work on this. How much is it bothering him? Is he the one pushing to go to therapy? Have you ever come across the Lidcombe Program? It’s typically used...

Our first SLP sucked. Just told him to talk slowly. Our second SLP is great and we've learned a lot of shaping techniques and things like phrasing, easy onset, pullouts/cancellations, etc. We've be...

I have tried joining toastmaster but the one in my city feels to strict.. not too friendly.. I also joined one for stutterers but i was very comfortable and i felt that it was a waste of time.. thats ...

I wish she knew to not take away any hopes I had of overcoming it. Ever since I was a kid with a stutter I believed one day I would overcome it and be fluent. One day towards the end of my junior year...

Honestly I blocked most of it out it was so horrible. Here is what I do remember though. I made it my mission to speak as little as possible be it to classmates during projects or the teachers, I was ...

it's awesome that you wrote here! :-D from my point of view, the best thing that you could do as a slp is to create an environment where the people you are working with can feel that they can be hone...

That I'm not a child. I got so tired, as a teen and adult, of having to flip through children's cartoon flash cards and workbooks, sitting in a room with teddy bears on the shelves and toys in the cor...

Spontaneous conversations with differing environments is very different from the repetition in a therapy room. I've read somewhere that in neurology that the brain can be retrained, with years of repe...

11 years is a long time. And from what you've wrote it sounds like you are ready for different things. Maybe group therapy at a university. Or maybe getting friends and family to do 10 minute in-the-f...

Before I learned what a good therapist is like, I had no clue. There are really good therapists out there who know how to help people, but it is not always easy finding them. Or they might not be in y...

I'm also 99% fluent in speech therapy. Makes it harder to prepare for real world interaction. So instead of techniques I try to focus on the emotional aspect of it....

Yeah, I definitely have had this happen as well -- partially one of the reasons why I doubt the effectiveness of the speech therapies I have been in!...

This is super common, but doesn't necessarily indicate that your stutter is a psychological problem. I used to be the same way in speech therapy in school. I'd go in wanting to stutter, so they could ...

SLPs - in my experience at least - assess based on what you report as well as what you demonstrate. With stuttering sometimes being predominately social/new situations they probably just think you use...

Fluent in Speech Therapy

Fluent in Speech Therapy I am a lifelong stutterer. My stutter is mostly blocks where I know what word I want to say, but It just won't come out. I'm 95% fluent with my family, making them think I do...

I also forget to breathe when I’m talking when I hit a stammer. But like an earlier comment, my speech therapist told me that it’s ok to restart and to breathe before I restarted. ...

Well my therapist first observed how I spoke and then she gave me some breathing and reading exercises. she would often ask me to speak alone for a minute and record it. she would listen to the record...

What kind of techniques did she use? I seem to usually see two different kinds of speech therapy, one is using ‘tools’ (sliding into words, almost singing your words out, soft speech etc.) and the oth...

I saw the same therapist when I was 10 and when I was 14 (horrible moment in school). Both times I went for a month but I didnt improve so I dropped it. Then I saw a different therapist when I was 19(...
