Also, do you stutter? I hope you don't mind my asking. I'm thinking about incorporating some of these responses into my reflection about the assignment....

Hi there! And thanks for your response! I don't know a lot about pseudostuttering as a therapy technique. Were you asked to fake a stutter in both of your languages? Also, how do you feel about speec...

Now I ask, where do we draw the line? Can and should professionals do this with other types of communication disorders? What about physical disorders? Or cognitive? Also, do you stutter? I hope you d...

It’s not only about the other person’s reaction, it’s also about the emotions and cognitions you experience prior to, during and after stuttering. It puts you in the shoes of a stutterer and to some e...

Yes, I wrote about it in my other comment (copy-pasted below). Like I said, I think it's a valid assignment, but the way in which OP's professor frames its purpose is an important distinction "I ha...

To each their own. I just never met anyone who thought of that assignment as inappropriate. IMO it's the most important assignment an SLP student will do in their training. Between the confused look ...

Thanks for giving your insight--I couldn't find the words to describe why the assignment might be odd/inappropriate, but your reasoning was super concise. ...

Hi! I think some students (myself included) felt like it was "inappropriate" because of what /u/kapac said. Plus, we were only required to engage with one stranger and say at least one sentence, maybe...

I agree that it can give insight into the reactions of others which can be valuable, but I think the disturbing idea is that someone could think it tells you anything about the internal experience of ...

Thanks! That's really helpful. I'm questioning if this assignment is even worth if it we're having these single-sentence conversations in such relaxed environment. And some of the students I know just...

Yeah, I would have some serious qualms about that assignment as well if it were framed in the way you described. The idea that faking a stutter could give you the same experience as someone who has a ...

It gives you insight on how others react when you stutter. I think it's a great idea and important for any SLP to experience. It's odd, and frankly a little disturbing, that someone could misconstrue ...

Thanks! The assignment wasn't described as a way to practice an evidence-based therapy technique, but I wish it had been! ...

I had to do this for my SLP course in fluency. The intended purpose as it was explained to us was that we ask our clients to practice intentional stuttering in therapy and it makes us more credible as...

I had similar therapy. Was life changing for me. Opening up to friends and family was hard, but so rewarding. Feeling free to stutter openly and not live in fear of the next stutter is a beautiful thi...

thank you so much for sharing! I’m happy to read that therapy has been impactful... your advice is spot-on. sounds like you found an awesome therapist, too! also, I would like to note that for those ...

how long have you been coached by Mr. Lovett? how much of a difference has this coaching made in your stutter?...

Controlling your stutter through self-hypnosis

Controlling your stutter through self-hypnosis Today while I was searching for some techniques to control my stuttering, I came across this youtube channel by Lee lovett. This man is promoting self-hy...

The most frustrating part for me was any time I went to a therapist I talked completely normal. They could never replicate the situations that caused me to stutter; pretty weird, really. I’m a teacher...

> It took me about 2 years of weekly therapy to become fluent. I think it would pay us heed to note that fluency isn't best thought of as the expected outcome of speech therapy. What's important ...
