I think we've had this topic in here before, that of the distance between stutterers and those seeking to help them. The only recourse we seem to have is to rely on the (potential) accumulated experie...

yeah, first let me put up a note to please excuse the tone of this post if it sounds too aggressive. Yeah but we both know SLPs barely work with stutterers. And in grad school, they have maybe one "f...

Well considering most slp's don't know much about how to deal with stuttering that doesn't mean much. But everything she's doing sounds like normal stuttered forward moving speech to me. If you mean t...

Method, that'd be something taught by SLPs. Tricks, that's the oddities and habits she's doing to get her words out. E.g. she's forcing air and skipping pronunciation....

Except she's using a lot of tricks to speak. Didn't you notice? I mean, it's not that I have a problem as such with her speaking the way she does! It's just that I wonder if she'd improve with actual...

:| Maybe call them [_Speech-Language Pathologists_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech-language_pathology) instead, leaving out the "therapist" part. Or _clinicians_, as the text says. But I suspec...

From what I hear here, I can't quite figure out if she's using _method_ or just _tricks_. I hear some "piggyback" maneuvers which are rather forced, and some "dodging" which sounds like avoidance. But...

Man, I was you when I was in high school. I thought I would stutter uncontrollably for the rest of my life. Now, I'm probably going to stutter for the rest of my life, but it's improved dramatically s...

SLP Occupation Question

SLP Occupation Question I was always interested in this line of work but it felt wrong. I feel like I shouldn't be telling people how to help their stuttering if I stutter too. What do you think? B...

Hey, I'd be happy to have a chat with you. My stutter use to be quite bad but I had some fairly intensive treatment and put in a lot of work and these days the stutter is mostly manageable. I still ha...

I'm 19 and just started going to therapy again. I haven't gone to therapy in 10 years for my mild stutter. I don't stutter a lot in clinic, so it's a bit weird for me. I don't think it's helping as...

Looking to speak with people who have taken control of their speech

Looking to speak with people who have taken control of their speech If anybody is available, I'd like to talk to people with a "success story", preferably on skype some time. I'd like to discuss some ...

SLPs of r/Stutter... what's it like?

SLPs of r/Stutter... what's it like? I saw in a recent post that a lot of people here work as Speech-Language Pathologists. What's it like being an SLP with a stutter? (I'm assuming most everyone post...

Interesting viewpoint. I'd be curious on his response. I currently work an accounting job (don't love it, don't hate it, cool coworkers), but always wish I would've gone to college for Speech Therapy/...

What are your daily routines to counter your stutter?

What are your daily routines to counter your stutter? I have been trying to make some changes in my life these last few weeks. One of the things that I have been trying to improve is my stutter. I am ...

How I got over my stutter

How I got over my stutter This might be a slightly longer post, so please bear with me as I try to impart how I have progressed in the speech fluency aspect of my life. **TL;DR** My speech fluency ev...

I sort of reached this point with the help of therapy (CBT). After a few home assignments (practiced calling, practiced asking strangers on the street and what not) we ended up agreeing I should give ...

I had speech therapy last year at the age of 25. It was okay on the whole. They mucked us around so we had a total of I think it was 4 tutors. It was good to meet other people who stammer. We're like ...

My company is offering to pay for speech therapy. Has anyone had any success as an adult? I am 25.
