I almost dropped out of University when I came up against multiple seminar classes that required long form presentations. Looking back, that would have been the biggest mistake of my life. Sure, it's ...

Stuttering sucks. But damnit, going straight through it will yield better life results. Yes it will suck, yes it feels awful but the strength and courage to go for it and get through it is what matt...

I just found out that the college I’m going to has a required oral communications class

I just found out that the college I’m going to has a required oral communications class I paid my deposit there a few weeks ago before I knew this. I looked at all the credits I would need to get for ...

We weren't allowed to read. It was about a topic which everyone got to choose for himself so we were supposed to know the matter really well. Everyone else wrote a text for their presentation and lear...

Have you ever had a practice session before trying to speak slow in real life? If no, do that first and don't worry about speaking slow with other people just yet. Funny enough, just renembering to s...

Here's a question I want you to ask yourself: What's more embarassing? Stuttering or speaking slowly? By saying to yourself ''Today I will speak slowly the whole day'' you're setting yourself an unre...

Related to the video: speaking slowly is simple to do, but it's hard (embaressment). To step over the activation threshold, I could make this step easier. Eg. Steps: 1. Testing to reallife: - I c...

You just gotta deal with it. I try to focus on just remembering the material the entire time and run through the bullet point topics in my head leading right up to doing it. Try not to think about any...

Embarrasing moment

Embarrasing moment At the orientation I was asked by my English major lecturer to give a few words on "What I like most about the University" with the intent to motivate the new intakes (undergraduat...

I'm was really surprised when I realized there aren't any alternatives to the presentations in form of written exams or something like that. Those are probably reserved for 'real' disabilities like be...

If this is truly limiting your education (and it sounds like it is). Go talk to whatever your university calls your disability advisor in the college. In the USA anyway professors are required by law ...

I did one at end of bachelors, end of masters and now frequently during my PhD. People know I stutter but it isn't that bad in general (have bad days though). For my bachelor's I didn't mention it to ...

I don't stutter at all when talking to myself, makes these exercises that SLTs suggest kinda ineffective. Probs some subconscious performance anxiety/ the need to project your voice/ time pressure t...

Yeah that might help, thanks! How do you deal with the anxiety, if you have any? I know that by the time I'm setting the date for the presentation I can't think of anything else until then. I prefer s...

Practice practice practice. In my program I took we had to take a public speaking class which included 10-12 presentations infront of the class. Best way to avoid a storm of stuttering from being nerv...

Bachelor's thesis

Bachelor's thesis Hello! I'm lurking on this sub on my main account, but don't want to post with it because I don't want any friends to see my question / problem. First, sorry for any bad grammar. En...

It went *really* well. My son was the leader and the class was instructed to follow him. He got stuck on a word and the *entire* class just waited patiently. (They’re 7, this is not easy for them). Th...

How did it go? What did you talk about? My son just got invited to speak to a class today so I wanted to follow up with this thread. ...

I’m really late on this, but I could totally relate to this guy! The reading during class, it being hard to talk to teachers, and of course having talking to girls be way more complicated. Great stuff...

College student and SLP undergraduate here that stutters. As many you've probably experienced, the classroom can definitely be one of the hardest environments for us. Recently, I had to introduce myse...
