Is anyone interested in practising over Skype with me?

Is anyone interested in practising over Skype with me? I'm looking for a partner to practice techniques with. Ideally, we would just have a regular conversation and practice techniques during it, rath...

I stutter and I've been a teacher. None of my kids took up stuttering, except if I stuttered modeling an unfamiliar word to some students, they would repeat it with the extra syllable, and I would sto...

I have had a stutter at least since I was 5 years old. Today I am 19 years old, and still have problems with my stutter. I don't have a problem reading when alone, but I do when reading to others. It ...

Guys i wanna know something hm... so here it goes... i can read in front of my family , or even alone and you wouldn't even tell that i stutter, but when i am question to read in the classroom i don't...

Experience with different languages

Experience with different languages My language is of slavic origin, and beside that, I know English. But since I never spoke English too much, it's extremely hard for me to pronounce and talk that l...

No, not adults, because kids who stutter are way more common than adults in our teaching clinic. A lot of kids spontaneously recover - something like 70% or more - without any intervention at all. In ...

Hello shovelsocks, I’m employed, and majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Also, I’m a stutterer. I think we all feel like complete garbage from time to time. We aren’t. We are s...

I'm a soldier so I'm put into public speaking situations often. But the more I'm put into these situations the more desensitized I get and the better I can speak. Anyways I was giving out a PowerPoin...

I feel you too when i have oral presentations i just skip that class i know i have a 0 at that activity but i just don t give a fuck i prefer to don t do it all , then stutter alot while doing it ...

I had a teacher that thought I was trying to be funny or something when I blocked, so he started calling on me all the time. I got sent to the office once for disrupting class, but that was back when ...

I also read this same quote from one of my slp classes. I have not met any African Americans that stutter, instead I have met a couple of middle eastern people who do stutter. I am from the Caribbea...

Thank you. I feel exactly how you did in high school, and just haven't ever tried to do anything about it. When I see the class is about to read I try to find some excuse to get out of class, whether ...

I used to go through this exact same situation when I was in highschool. I would fear the days I had to go to English class. Your description brings back some painful memories for me. I've had times w...

Do you have documentation for this stuttering problem? You can demand some accommodation for this as it is covered under typical 504 plans in education. Also, have a conversation with your teachers ...

I used to be that way all through grade school too. When I started college, I started stuttering during presentations and other public speaking opportunities, too. I think stress and the general feeli...

Reversed stuttering?

Reversed stuttering? I'll keep it short. I am 19 years old I started stuttering in my primary school, mostly because I got teased for it and didn't have many friends. Now I only stutter in front of pr...

I do not understand why not speaking is such a big deal to them. What do they say if someone is deaf, or actually mute? Do they still have to pass an oral presentation? It might be different in other ...

I'm the same way with a presentation. I think its because i prepare myself for hours before and to the point where I'm stressing out about it. Ive had a few mishaps where i just felt like sitting down...

Same here too. Although it depends on the situation. Presenting in front of class seems to make my stutter very bad (although, last time I had a presentation was 4 years ago) but in interviews I have ...

Yea, reading your post was like looking a mirror. I am currently doing the clicking thing. It's evolved from a grunt and numerous other buffers I have used over the years. I will be starting a 1 hour ...
