Yes, as a kid I had "traditional" speech therapies, they didn't help much, because while I was there, my speech was fantastic, but as soon as I left the room, I stuttered again. As an adult I've foun...

I recommend finding a speech pathologist who focuses on both the physical and psychological aspects of stuttering. Mine is that way and while I still have a long way to go, I’ve gotten much more contr...

If you ever want to learn some of the information from my therapy that I found useful please feel free to reach out. My family was poor and couldn’t afford therapy. I ended up paying for it myself aft...

Thanks for your response! I'm sorry :( I bet you there are some speech therapists doing teletherapy/online sessions right now too if you want another alternative...

Yeah, add to that when people just say "slow down", and when you finally get over your block they look at you like "wow he's stupid why doesn't he understand he just needs to slow down", while they di...

1. Yes I did 2. Most of my elementary years 3. I did help but I feel like my stutter still kept me from doing things that I wanted to do. 4. Slowing my speech, I would rush and stutter so much. I s...

I did lots of speech therapy as a young child for several years. And then two multi-week sessions when I was older. Probably one at 13 and one at 17. The speech therapy as a child was, for me, worthl...

I don't have any answers for you because, as far as I can tell, nobody has any answers. I will say that I, and I think many many others, had years of therapy. In my case it started when I was 7 or 8,...

Stammer help??

Stammer help?? My son is 17 and stammers (possible stutter) quite alot. Are there any programs or exercises I can do with him at home? It is affecting his self esteem and I think he just missed out on...

I can definitely relate. I'm 23 aswell and My stammer is pretty bad, like barely 4-5 words in a minute on an avg day. I have very severe anxiety of almost anything. Calls, video calls, opening the doo...

I did speech therapy from 2nd to 3rd grade, it help out a bit but then it got worse, then better during middle school, now in 11th grade its getting worse, probably from not talking a whole lot during...

I doubt therapy for emotions related to stuttering would help my particular condition (I’ve grown accustomed to living the “mute life”, as it were). I genuinely think there’s a huge neurological compo...

Yeah... Just tears and kinda the frustration of it all. I'm probably thinking of seeking out a speech therapist! Its been a good 10 years since someone made fun of my stammering! So yeah I was totall...

Yes, most of that was me delving into the dark recesses of my mind and figuring things out. Speech therapy was largely useless in this regard, but I have had counselling which has helped me deal with ...

I'm sorry :( Treatment for stuttering is something that many of us don't get enough training on in graduate school, although we would all like more of it! I have heard the most helpful therapists ar...

Thanks for your response! Do you feel like you ended up doing #6 mostly yourself? I try hard to make sure students know to do what's best for them, and that therapy ideas are just suggestions...

That's awesome! Thanks for your response. I always have felt like SLPs who formerly stuttered themselves are often the most effective people to treat stuttering...

Ahh okay, I didn't know! Yeah, the speech therapist was working at the public school I went to, so it was very basic. We mostly just played board games and talked, to be honest, at least from what I c...

Started stuttering at age 12 and never went to speech therapy as a child. I sought out a speech therapist myself when I was in my 20s and he was a actually a dentist and former stutterer. He focused p...

>slow down, stop talking, take a deep breath, and try again but slower These are very generic and often ineffective things to say to a stutterer. If you're still adhering to this "training", it's ...
