Don’t forget also that since the professor did this he is showing all the it’s okay to laugh at you. It’s disgusting, report him or at least have a long conversation with him about it one on one. When...

Give people grace to admit they made a mistake. The fact that he met with you to apologize is huge. You don't have to like this professor, just move on for your own mental health....

It sounds like therapy has improved her fluency somewhat, so that's great! Maybe she's doing more than you realize, and it's working most of the time but you're only noticing when it's an especially t...

You sound like a great parent with totally normal concerns about your kid's well-being! Remember that there is no physical harm in stuttering, and there is also no cure. Using fluency tools doesn't cu...

Well done for saying something. I had many teachers laugh at my stutter during school and I was too scared to say something. As an adult, I now know that you can gently let people know that you stutte...

I don't get it either, but people have laughed about my stutter in a non-malevolent way too. They didn't keep in mind that it's not deliberate, I guess also because my stutter is often not visible any...

Hi. What you do is you either a) learn to be more tolerant of the fact that neurodiversity is a thing that exists and accept your friend for who he is, stutter and all; or b) break off your friendship...

Personally I hated when my mother did when I was a kid. I would feel like I’m getting somewhere with my speech and then get cut off to be told how to talk and it would just drive me up the wall. But i...

honestly, reporting won't lead to anything anyway. If he doubled down and said something nasty, then we'd have a case....

Agree 100%. Stick with the class. Don’t report the professor. If he’s a good human, he learned a valuable lesson from this situation. If not, don’t let one ignorant asshole slow down your educational ...

Sadly, stuttering is severely under taught and often misrepresented in grad school for SLPs. Fluency is very heavily pushed and almost as a requirement, especially for therapists that have been practi...

As someone who was in your child’s place, please stop doing this. My parents were the same way. Very kind and supportive but they always kept saying things to use my therapy stuff or slow down or brea...

That's a shame. You might want to share literature from the National stuttering Foundation with him. Stuttering is NOT cured. It's managed. It's a disability and should be recognized and understood as...

I agree with the other posters that there is no reason you should pressure your child to use speech strategies. I think this is actually VERY important…. And I’m really glad you asked this question he...

If she feels good and her stuttering is not bothering her, don't push techniques on her. It's much better to stutter freely without pressure than always focusing on techniques against your will. Paren...

If it doesn’t give her social issues or affect her confidence, let her stutter freely :) I know it’s a scary thing to think about. You love your kid and want her to be as successful as possible. Succe...

The issue is: should I be encouraging her to use her strategies if she doesn’t care enough about her stutter to apply them? I don’t want to make her think having a stutter is something that she should...

This is an amazing answer. Allow him the time and space, OP. The only thing he needs from you is patience...

Stop being friends with him. If his stutter troubles you on such a level, just leave him be. Like other people have said on this sub it’s amazing that he has the confidence to not care about it, somet...

The best thing you can do to him is don't let him realise it, that's what he was trying to do but you reminded him again....
