your brain is more adaptive as a child. i could benefit from it now but it doesn't bother me so much and not worth the effort...

I hesitated to offer any tips... Mainly because of your son's age. Statistically, most kids grow out of their stutter. As such, the common approach is "wait and see." I dislike "wait and see" becaus...

I have a kid with a stutter and had the same concern about "making it a thing" by taking her to a speech therapist. The therapist we had for evaluation was excellent and treated kid with respect and e...

Hi, pediatric speech-language pathologist here. From 2.5-3.5ish, stuttering is developmentally normal. If it continues past the age of 4, then find a speech therapist. Deep breaths Momma, both of my ...

Yes that's something that we've read... Not bringing up the stutter. We've stopped telling things like "calm down" or "go slower" or anything like that. My question is how do we avoid it if we see a s...

speech therapist and i would say don't discourage him from speaking by bringing up his stutter much like it's weird a few in my family have a stutter and received speech therapy - i didn't and no sur...

I agree with u/JoeOutrage, see a doctor. Considering your MMA, I'd see a neurologist. Trauma can go undetected, and can be a cause of stuttering....

Wow!!! What a horrible reply!! This stuttering group is supposed to be supportive. Everyone should be treated with respect. If someone is unstable and needs to vent they should seek mental health...

Absolutely see a doctor. Sudden onset of stuttering can be a sign of something more serious, especially as a pre-teen to adult. Totally possible it's nothing at all, but to know that you need to see ...

Again, you're putting words into my mouth. I didn't say that we can use meds for anxiety and depression, but not for stuttering. What I am saying is that this drug isn't anywhere near approved. I adv...

I *absolutely* advocate for speech therapy to improve fluency. I'm not selling anything. I have never promoted any particular program, book, etc. Stuttering can be devastating to a person's psyche. I...

Don't try speech therapies cuz they are being knocked out day by day and substituted with cognitive therapies and even TDCS. Desensitizing from stutter can guarantee you a 90% reduction of stutter pro...

Seek professional advice. There are treatments for preschoolers that are effective. Lookup “The Lidcombe Program”. Some tips: - don’t correct stutters. This is a part of the Lidcombe Program but y...

If you do go to a speech therapist, make sure to find one who specializes in stuttering and who knows how to assess and work through the feelings associated and not just fluency....

Thanks. We have an appointment scheduled to get a referral and will see a pathologist as soon as possible, though they book pretty far out....

Have your parents double check your school district. Public schools have to legally provide special education services (which include speech therapy) to student who need it under the Individuals with...

I'm sorry for the extremely late reply! I was just cleaning out my inbox when I saw this. It seems like they think it's a bad habit or unhealthy? I'm not entirely sure, as I'm not a speech therapist o...

Feedback on stuttering apps / other tools

Feedback on stuttering apps / other tools I’m in a USC graduate student consulting team working on a project with a speech therapy app for stuttering. We’d like to get some feedback from the community...

Speech therapy does work. It depends on what therapy you are using. I have tried everything under the sun. At 57 years old I became fluent. Something’s I did. Most stutterers can read out loud. If you...

Since speech therapy doesn't work (I know it from personal experience), it somewhat makes sense. Still, I hope they'll find a drug or a neurological treatment....
