Adult speech therapy

Adult speech therapy Hello everyone. I’m 31F. Have had a lifelong stutter. Started speech therapy as a child and it literally went away by the time I was 13. Did a lot of public speaking throughou...

I see myself in your message mate. It’s daunting for sure but know you can do the drive thru. You might have to go off script a little but you can do it....

I hate this argument. Truth is if you have a severe stutter majority of people will think u are subhuman. The way to fight back is to only care what you think. Pretending that everyone else around ...

Hard to say... it's been so gradual that I don't know if I could pinpoint it tbh, or even tell you a point where it started to get "better" He still gets small blocks when he's overtired, but yeah, ...

Never stop being open and honest about it. The vast majority are understanding, and those that arent are not worth your time. Youre brave and I look up to you...

Good job for just putting it out there. I have a job interview coming up and I have trouble saying the word apprentice. The word is in the title of the position so well see how it goes lol....

OP how is your kid now, 5 years on?...

I wonder if the OP would still see this, I am going through all of this as a parent of a nearly 7 year old. I have read all of the comments and find them so helpful. Does anyone have any experience or...

Well done! It takes a lot of courage to attend these events. I’m glad you had a positive experience… keep going. 👍🏼...
