Asked for help to parents

Asked for help to parents So I guess I want to go to Speech therapy after 5 years of stutter. My stutter got worse as I moved to another country so I finally wanted do try speech therapy and my parent...

I recently went to my doctor about this, they were not very helpful. Just told me why did I stop going to speech therapy in 2009..... when I was a kid. Hope it goes better for you...

Dont think it is listed a a disability here in the UK, but I really think it should, it's something that effects your everyday life, and makes even the simple daily things very hard and stressfull ...

Statistically it's less likely that children in school age will outgrow it, some do of course. Like the other comments say, finding a good SLP that specializes in stuttering is key. Keep the process ...

I had a stutter until about 1st grade. I was able to get rid of mine by seeing a speech therapist very frequently. Another commenter here mentioned how important it is for family and therapists to fra...

If you can find a good speech therapist, it doesn't hurt to get a consult. And if it's something that bothers her and she's hiding it, it could be a good thing. But I stress the need to find a good th...

Many have came out of stammering, so can your son... He is small... so don't get worried... or don't show to him that you worry, otherwise he will be sad and worried by knowing that you worry for him....

Right, that was it. Maybe you could find a therapist who read the study and is open minded and is willing to do lidcombe without the contingencies. Someone who won't teach the child that fluency is de...

Im glad you know about the importance of finding a good therapist. No therapy is better than bad/harmful therapy, especially for kids I think. Private therapist might be the best option and if it can ...

Yes i get your point, we're careful not to give him that impression. I think the SLP will talk mostly with us parents, and give us pointers on whatever strategy/treatment is chosen. At least the first...

I think it depends on a case by case basis. For some the very act of being taken to a specialist can lead to feelings of "something must be wrong with me" and cause the same behavior. It's also diff...

Biggest thing for me was to be in safe spaces. Reading out loud helped me also. since you’re son is young maybe reading to him more would help, keep talking to him, the more comfortable he is talki...

I think its best to start right away. I know some recommend to wait, but research suggest the earlier the better, before the mental struggles/avoidance starts, and this starts very early for some chil...

Yes i do worry too much, but i can't help it at the moment. I want to make sure we do everything we can to help him. We've found a highly trained SLP and start working with him next week....

Thanks, i will definitely read that👍 Everything you're saying makes a lot of sense. My own coping mechanisms and unhealthy avoidance techniques became a big part of my problem early on. I can't assu...

Having a friend group helps a lot. I stuttered from 1st grade to senior year and having safe spaces helps a ton. You can get better, I promise...

My personal experience with SLPs is a mixed bag to be mild. For years i had weekly sessions that did nothing. Then i got one intensive week with specialists, and wow that did wonders. But with no foll...

2 is early. I thinl the norm is to see an SLP by 3 or 4. Even 5....

hello /u/strb_86. I, 38m, software dev/manager - on Teams all day long.... sound very similar to me (basically all of what you said). I think you're doing all the right things. Love, support, acceptan...

If he's blocking, avoiding certain words, talking less, I think that is a good reason to see an SLP, but only if you can find a good one who will help him feel more comfortable with his stuttering and...
