That "dealing with stuttering" and "being as fluent as possible" are not the same thing. A lot of students (and practicing SLPs, for that matter) equate these two experiences. Hearing first-hand abou...

Tried speech therapy when i was younger. It did help but it came back. Went to it again a couple years ago. Didn't help at all and we're not in a financial state to keep throwing money at it after alm...

What helped you the most in speech therapy?

What helped you the most in speech therapy? I’m a person who stutters and a speech-language pathology graduate student. Curious to hear about what helped you guys the most in speech therapy? Did y...

The bit about stomach pain and being red, panty etc.was so damn relatable. I found a job in a local bookstore with my pretty severe stutter, and people don't really seem to mind it that much (at least...

I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I may try it because it's a 15 dollar copay. May I ask what you found works for you? From different therapists I've tried different techniques.. - pausing between...

I have tried it and it didn't do anything for me. Have heard/read many similar experiences to mine from other people who stutter. If it's expensive I wouldn't bother if I were you....

I'd like to see evidence of its efficacy. I agree it is common in some places, but unfortunately bad therapy is the common norm, not the exception....

Well, the thing with therapy, if you go through for more than 1 year, the chance of it working again is rather low. Not impossible, and it’s worth trying I agree. But I was in speech therapy from 2nd ...

I’ve been through the same scenario. Back when I was in middle school, they provided a speech therapist. Much like yours she was young and probably just got out of college. Very unhelpful and naive. I...

Speech therapy is going to be as good as the therapist, and unfortunately yours is no good. Word substitution can be considered a avoidance technique, something a good therapist will help you get out ...

Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy So, I'm usually pretty positive about my mild stutter, but today was a tough day. I'm doing speech terapy (paid by my health care plan) but the therapist is too young and doesn't have a...

I’ve been going to speech theraphy for over 4 years, but it didn’t help that much. I’ve tried out many therapists and methods, but nothing seems to work....

Im glad she told you some good things but makes me question her real understanding if she still teaches these tricks (which directly undermine the original message). "confronting" on your own is very ...

Do not do #4-7. These are called insertions and they are not techniques, they are tricks that introduce bad behavior into your speech pattern. It'll get to a point where all your Gs sound like Ns etc....

I feel ya. My speech therapy in elementary school was horrible. How it didn’t count as child abuse I’ll never know. I had good therapy later with someone who actually understands stuttering, but the r...

All my life I was told to get noise out anyway I could when I get into a hard block. After 15+ years of therapy I have finally started doing it. And its for the worse.

All my life I was told to get noise out anyway I could when I get into a hard block. After 15+ years of therapy I have finally started doing it. And its for the worse. I have always had really bad blo...

Good for you. That's hard to do. I haven't talked to my family about my stutter in probably over 10 years. I was put in speech therapy when I was younger, and it didn't do anything to help me unfort...

Obligatory tried speech therapy for years with no results :/ I'm on abilify with the idea of helping the stutter but I don't think it's really working. I'm thinking about looking into tourette's medic...

I have no idea. I'm not an expert and I don't really kn ow anything about you or other situations you stutter in. All I can say is that speech therapy helped me a great deal, but it's not an immediate...

I did speech therapy for a while, and it helped at first. I took a break for a couple weeks due to familial problems, and I noticed my speech had gotten worse. It really discouraged me, and I had to s...
