So I’ve just stumbled across this post thought I’d put my 2 cents in. I’m a member of the McGuire programme. It never claims to be a cure, or a quick fix. What it does though is give you technique...

Lee Lovett‘s methods have changed my life. Everything from reading out aloud when you’re alone (which improves your fluency habit), never forcing blocks (to weaken the stutter habit), positive affir...

>Speech therapy or any program to “cure” stuttering is a scam. Speech therapy helped me achieve fluency. I was a severe stutterer. Never a fluent sentence, run out of breath blocks, stutterer. So, n...

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I really, really appreciate it. The idea of becoming fluent vs using strategies is one that I have not heard of. The strategies that my son has...

You're welcome. I didn't receive a strategy or technique based therapy. I read accounts on here of a lot of different techniques or strategies. And I'm familiar with a decent amount of them. But whe...

Thank you very much for your response. Yes, you are so right about finding the right speech therapist and the willingness to put in the work. What strategies in particular helped you?...

lol no problem... I just finished 3 months of speech therapy too so that helps but I'm sure u could find the techniques online for free. good luck with the guy!...

StutterOn Speech Therapy Tool

StutterOn Speech Therapy Tool Hello everyone! A few years ago, my friend and I began developing an online speech therapy tool called StutterOn. It’s a web-based platform that helps people who stutter...

How effective do you personally find breathing techniques?

How effective do you personally find breathing techniques? I have found them to help me a lot! I regularly practice diaphragmatic breathing and speaking on the exhale has reduced my blocks significant...

I actually didn’t learn this speech therapy, I didn’t learn anything in speech therapy that actually helped lol. Great article, I think I actually agree with it— I am definitely not saying (I hope m...

You are supposed to do this method in a hierarchy. It's okay to tell her it isn't working. Modifications can be made....

>and we are doing a method where for 10 minutes a day- I play with him and point out only smooth speech (I can't remember what the technique is called) I would **not** do this method. You're essentia...

Speech therapy teach how to speak in unnatural ways and then the mind thinks about the words and stutter u shouldn’t do it...

I can only speak from my life experience. Not sure why I m getting down voted. Pointing out the stutter is to make him aware of when it happens, but also, therapist also need to show him a way to cop...

For a trained person, teaching kids is *extremely easy* because they don’t have the years of habits ingrained in biological neural pathways. Also, therapeutic interventions include play, singing, an...

I never tried that therapy, but when I was a child one of my speech therapists recommended that my parents put their hand up and stop me from talking when I did stutter. Like your child, it just made ...

No techniques have been used- only the therapist pointing out (and teaching me how to point out) "smooth speech." The therapist is on board with ditching the Lidcombe method and going with "fluency s...

I am a SLP and also went through a period where my 2.5 year old was stuttering, so I read a lot about stuttering at this age. Please stop just pointing out his smooth speech! He doesn’t have the con...

Speech therapy work wonders. You need to listen with your kids on the therapy sessions and check if therapist is teaching strategies to ease the blockage. Teaching kid is not easy, and it requires us...

I agree with you- and we wouldn't have started therapy - but he was noticing it. One day he told me "I can't get my words out..." which totally sounds like "things kids never said ..." 😅but he did. W...
