OK, just realize it’s kind of expensive, and takes nearly two weeks or so of time there. They have financial aid for those in need, I believe. And they don’t coddle you. You have to work hard in the p...

Please pardon me if I sound insensitive. Sometimes I'm a bit blunt. You have to love yourself before anyone else will love you. It's cliché, but it's 100% true. You said it yourself, you have self e...

Good therapy. Prioritize good therapy. All the hard things I wanted to do were too hard and scary until I got good help from an slp who actually knew how to help. It takes time to find someone good bu...

Thank you but I'm 22 and I've stuttered my entire life and no one has ever been able to tell me why and where I live there's no speech therapy programs for adults so there's no 'fixing' it...

Speech therapy did help me along with hypnosis. I went through 20 years of speech therapy and I went from 0% fluency to 80%. (My stutter started as a result from a traumatic dog attack at the age o...

I think that is AWESOME that your employer is supportive: a majority of PWS do not have that and many are "let go" because of their stutter (HR just paints a different picture regarding the verbiage o...

Its goid your workplace offered to pay for speech therapy. Go to therapy. Also try taking long walks as frequently as you can , I find it relaxes me and gives me a lot of energy at the same time. Try ...

Of course! That sounds wonderful, I'm sure she'll provide you with the resources you need! Best of luck with everything!...

No problem. I think pretty early but I'm not 100% exactly. I remember taking a bus to speech at a different school before/around kindergarten so I think they started around 4. I was 6 in 2nd grade so ...

Thanks for your advice. May I ask what age did you start therapy ? Right away or did your parents wait?...

Thank you. Yes that seems to be the general consensus. Love, support, attention and a peaceful home seems to be important and we didn't wait for him to stutter to try to give him all that. Hopefully i...

How old was your child when you took her to a speech therapist ? Has it improved her stutter or at least her outlook on stuttering ? That's one of the things I'm most afraid of is not the stutter ...

Thank you for your reply. As i mentioned above we found a really sweet SLP and she said that based on the info we gave her, sessions with my son wouldn't be very useful and the priority would be to se...

Thank your for you're reassuring post. We were planning on waiting but it has gotten severe in a matter of days so my wife and I are going to see a speech therapist, mostly for us so they can teach us...

First thank you so much for such a great reply. I don't like the "wait and see" either, even if I totally understand the need to wait and see if it's actually a problem rather than normal behavior. It...

Speech therapy and moral support is I think all you do at that point. My dad stutters and my mom said I picked mine up at your kid's age. I was in therapy until ~7th grade and have been fairly fluent ...

I stutter, my son did the same thing at your age. I did the same things you are doing and he met with a speech therapist a couple of times and one day we realized it just wasn’t there. Have faith!...

I second most of these comments about what you're doing. The one thing I'll say is most SLPs are not trained in handling stuttering and even the ones that claim to be get it wrong half the time. If th...

The only one who can create a block is you. No one is grabbing your throat. You can learn and train your body to not sieze up. This is something a truly qualified slp who understands stuttering can he...

SLP working towards my fluency specialization here! Everything you’ve mentioned that you’re doing sounds great! I would also add to spend about 15 minutes a day with just your son where you have speci...
