I recently did a presentation on stuttering in college. One thing I enjoyed talking about was the treatments, especially the ones that I've been taught by SLP's that don't work and are just bogus. Ano...

Personally, I didn't enjoy it or find it helpful. I was really uncomfortable watching it as it just reminded me of when I had stuttering episodes and what I sound like to other people. In terms of...

>I've stuttered my whole life. Sometimes it was brutal, sometimes not so bad. But it's always there. Depends on my stress level really. But the most noticeable improvement was when I started takin...

How is that anything but a temporary fix? I see people here railing on and on about how stuttering is incurable and what not. I had speech therapy for years when I was younger and it didn't do shit. T...

It's a lifetime programme, which you join by attending your first intensive course. The programme teaches people physical techniques and tools to manage a stutter, but doing so in a natural way (unlik...

I've heard that speech therapy doesn't work for this type of stutter. Some stutterers have said that this too. I went to a counselor a few years back who was trained in speech therapy. He suggested a ...

I'd ask your kid if they enjoy it or see value in this and if they don't, I'd get a new therapist. I did all this fluency shaping stuff growing up and it was unhelpful, bordering on detrimental. What...

Therapy has several purposes. ​ One of the things therapists do is reduce a complex skill into more manageable units. Using "tools he can use if he gets stuck" is a really complex goal. ...

People have had mixed results with this (including me), so buyer beware. There's a small clinic in Roanoke, Virginia called Hollins Communication Research Institute, or HCRI. It's a pretty intensive 2...

Therapy is useless, I’ve been there many times and it’s just nothing but a hole to throw money in. I also don’t want to be dependent on medications...

Our first SLP sucked. Just told him to talk slowly. Our second SLP is great and we've learned a lot of shaping techniques and things like phrasing, easy onset, pullouts/cancellations, etc. We've be...

What kind of techniques did she use? I seem to usually see two different kinds of speech therapy, one is using ‘tools’ (sliding into words, almost singing your words out, soft speech etc.) and the oth...

I saw the same therapist when I was 10 and when I was 14 (horrible moment in school). Both times I went for a month but I didnt improve so I dropped it. Then I saw a different therapist when I was 19(...

Speech therapists are a mixed bag. There's helpful ones and unhelpful ones. I've been to three different ones, and the one I'm seeing right now is the only one whose actually helped me and taught (and...

I have tried speech therapy (not regularly though) but I don't like how they tell me to talk like a robot. For me it doesn't work outside the clinic. Glad it's been helpful for you :)...

>I've tried speech therapy during primary school but that didn't really help long term, **it helped for a brief period** That's totally worth something. It means something helped. Note that stutte...

Must have forgotten the OPs first post. "I have tried it (SLP) many times but did not improve and eventually the stutter got worse." So what's your point?...

Yes i did a stupid thing to stop doing the therapy as it was not making sense,then i sort of carried on with the autopilot mode ignoring stuff but now i know that i cannot get anywhere speaking in thi...

I have tried it many times but did not improve and eventually the stutter got worse....

Have you tried speech therapy? Don't just go to one and write it off, there's good speech therapists and bad ones. I've had the whole "Taaaaalllllk llliiiiike thiiiiiiis sooo yooouuuu dooonnn't stuuuu...
