I developed my stutter (a neurogenic stutter) later, as an adult due to MS. I have had other speech impediments most of my life, but I don’t feel they held me back. So I didn’t really feel the need to...

I tried cbd in a couple of forms. It didn’t do a fucking thing. The one substance that actually seems to help me with fluency is alcohol, but obviously that’s not something I can take all day every da...

I’m in grad school for speech therapy right now. What we know about stuttering- it is genetic and there is a neurophysiological component to it. It’s not caused by environmental trauma but stress can ...

Sure, stutter variance is a thing. But that's why it's good to know how to manage it when it's the worst. We often end up in situations where we have to speak, even if its hard, and that's the stuff t...

Agreed (yet another SLP). Most SLPs are unfamiliar with fluency therapy because stuttering is quite rare compared to other things that impact communication (like autism). OP, find a SLP who speciali...

Another SLP chiming in! Definitely shop around for a better therapy fit. Unfortunately, many therapists in our field are frankly out of date when it comes to fluency therapy and don’t know what to act...

No don’t laugh at him. Most stutterers find it offensive to be laughed at. Stop guessing his words and give him time to speak. Be patient with him and send him to a therapist. The earlier the better....

Hi OP, I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine how tough this situation is on you as a parent. I’m not exactly sure what the S-LP did with your son (speaking quietly isn’t something we’ve learned in school - ...

Wow congrats on not stuttering as much! Yeah I’ve read your post about the speech therapist. I know these Therapists are like frauds because they don’t stutter like we do, but I was thinking of giving...

I’m 29 and speech therapy has never worked for me (because I assume some cases of stuttering, like mine, are more grounded in neurological/physiological abnormalities than others). If speech therapy d...
