Did you go to speech therapy? Did it help? Why or why not? I am a student who is studying to be a speech pathologist (AKA speech therapist). I have read some threads about stuttering and sometimes com...

Though there are theories of why stuttering occurs, there isn't any proven reason. Some attribute it to a stressful event in life at a young age, there are some links to heredity (but no proof), and t...

That is really, really tough about your mom. I assume you're a teenager or young enough to be living/dependent on your parents. A good speech therapist SHOULD be talking directly to your parents/mom a...

Some things work for some people and not others. My mom used to stutter very severely, it took over her life up til sometime in her 20s. Some anxiety medication fixed it, very simply. I stutter, and...
