The effectiveness of therapy depends a lot on the therapist. You should also make sure she isn't just calling herself a speech therapist. I had that issue when my parents took me somewhere when I was ...

Should I stop to do speech therapy?

Should I stop to do speech therapy? Hey guys. Well, a few months ago I started doing speech therapy with the support of my family, and I was really excited about that. Finally, I was going to face my ...

Hi there! I am an SLP as well as a person who stutters with 10+ years working with children and adults who stutter. I have to agree with u/Jaeger__85. Recommending filler words and sounds are consi...

>reading out loud and being told to “slow down” Doesn't sound like speech therapy much, to be honest. Just sounds like some of those "platitudes" that we hear about so often. Definitely go try ou...

Yeah I did for 6 years and hated it. It was free through my school and every year they had a different person so nothing really stuck , except for slowing down which doesn’t help at all because I don’...

Am I the only one who thinks speech therapies don't work either?[Venting] Post-edit: I mean, in the long run. This is my second therapy. Previously, I received a therapy based on desensitization + mo...

to me the therapy did not help me at all except I think it made it even more difficult for me, at first I had high hopes but I saw that it is not helping me, I am still going because it is my last hop...

Yeah I guess in certain situations it would be doable, and even funny to sing instead of stuttering, if you know the people you're with very well I guess it could be cool. But in most cases at least f...

Speech therapy works in all kinds of ways, but stutterers will have to usually learn how to push past a block fluently. So yes, we are thinking about our speech while we speak, or at least when we rea...

I'm saying that too, sir the exercises she gives me to overcome any blockage or something else to say easy and manage, are not helping me, you are thinking that I do not want the therapy to help me or...

yeah now it is the 8th month, but it is not helping me at all even though my speech therapist knows where the problem is and gives me everything I need but no effect so far, it just got worse even mor...

I'm 19, are 6 months that I'm going to therapist but without any improvement, therapists only help you how to control speech and how to avoid blockade, although so far it's not that anything has helpe...

Does this SLP regularly work with stutterers and is certified in fluency disorders? Is their plan to *teach you how to control your stutter* (hopefully not)? One thing to know is that stuttering is th...

Doctors have no idea how to treat stuttering. They’re just throwing their methods out there in hope something sticks. I used to feel bad when treatments didn’t work on me, I felt like I did somethin...

Yeah don’t worry about it. I’m 17 and I did speech therapy for years from like 4-13 and literally nothing changed. Despite all the sessions I went to I didn’t improve that much and right now it’s stil...
