These comments below are good. Be your own advocate now and in the future. I took a wicked stutter through undergrad before getting better. When you are 20, 25, 30, and so on you will look back on ...

Thanks for sharing. :) For the sake of generality, though, I'd like to point out that your list is not necessarily applicable to everyone. As such, I suggest we should approach it a success story of ...

You’re not pathetic. And, i would explore other therapists if she’s already going down then path you describe. There’s good therapists and then there’s even more who know crap about stuttering treatme...

First, the speech therapy: How long did you attend? Were there exercises or techniques given for you to train? Second, the calls: What do these entail, verbally? Does you boss know you stutter? Do yo...

Thank you for sharing this thoughts. I consider myself as a tough stutterer. But it wasn't a big issue for me until teacher in school told me to read aloud a piece from a book and before i started she...

I just made a similar comment above. I believe the SLP made my stutter worse due to increasing my being self conscious about it. I’m now 28 and I believe that being forced into speech therapy as a kid...

I agree 100%. I believe SLP’s made my stutter worse. I started stuttering when I was maybe 4 or 5. My parents made a massive deal about it and forced me to go to speech therapy. I absolutely hated it...

I know... It's normal in the UK for clinics and stuff to only list a phone contact, but still. I half expect to be told I have to register with a GO first, which is another phone call....

If you’re in the US, her school will also have an SLP that you can access for free. Every public school has one. Even if you have her in a private school you are still entitled to an evaluation from y...

Got it on the appointment. Talking about stuttering can be sensitive and tricky. A good SLP will be able to talk about it in a way that won't lead to insecurity. I know SLPs who refer to a child's stu...

You should take her to a speech-language pathologist who specializes in fluency disorders. It is possible that since your daughter isn’t aware of the disfluencies the SLP will use an indirect method i...

Her doctor won't know anything about stuttering. The fact that she's not bothered by it is great. The biggest concern might be that you are very concerned. If you want to see someone, you should see a...
