I see from other posts you have a speech therapist appointment lined up, that's good. One thing I'll say, I was your daughter's age when I started stuttering. I'm 33 now and still stutter. I didn't ge...

Completely agree with others saying your Pediatrician is just wrong. Even if your daughter does "grow out of it", it's not like speech therapy is going to harm her. If she doesn't grow out of it, it c...

Pediatricians know nothing about stuttering. The "wait until the kid is 5" is based on nothing but social myth. In SOME kids, waiting is appropriate. In others, it is not. Early childhood stuttering i...

> Many “regular “ SLPs don’t have experience with a stutter. The SLP I found in my area has a page all about stuttering and that they treat this; they also specifically call out "Fluency Therapy" ...

Your pediatrician is wrong. I can't say that in a nicer way. Preschool therapy is usually quite effective. AND the fact that your concerned about it warrants therapy. A SLP might not see your child fo...

I just sent an email to a SLP in my area that does free consultations. You're right - there's no harm in getting an assessment. Our insurance covers it, so there really is no risk. Thank you. :)...

If you are concerned, what's the danger in contacting a SLP? Even if they assess and recommend no course of action, you will have piece of mind for the price of a SLP session or two. If they assess ...

Take her to a speech therapist immediately! My parents never took me to therapy when i was a child because they thought it was going to go away and now i'm 21 and grew up with a speech impediment and ...

You need to get her into speech therapy immediately (I really do mean that; do it as soon as possible). Girls are more likely than boys to spontaneously recover from stuttering, but if she doesn't, s...

I want to slap your teacher across their face. You were fine stuttering back then and you would be fine stuttering now. I wouldn't seek out techniques or anything because that only reinforces that stu...

I recommend seeing a Speech Language Pathologist that is knowledgeable in treating stuttering. You can read about techniques and watch videos but it does not compare to a well trained therapist. ...

Not a quick hack, sorry. But it seems like you're having a some strong reactions to stuttering and that it is affecting your life in substantial ways. I'd encourage you to seek out a speech-language p...

My case isn’t exactly like yours (I did sometimes stutter when talking to myself), but a treatment that really helped me was something called neurofeedback. I’ve been going to it for a few months now,...

Hi there!! I hate to tell you this, but your case is not unique. A large majority of people who stutter do NOT stutter when they are alone. In addition people who stutter may not stutter when talki...

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...

I deal with it by not substituting words. I stutter on the words I want to say. That said, working on blocking is very difficult and I'd recommend find a good speech therapist who knows how to work th...

I’d say maybe look into some breathing exercises and some speech therapy techniques that could help with the blocks and try a find out some words you struggle with the most to practice with . But I ...

In a 3rd world nation its always most difficult to find good speech therapists. The few present are costly-ish, extremely pretentious and rarely helpful(as I hear)...i dont know. Maybe im just venting...

Point of note: I'm not sure how exactly you conceive of this, but I'd be careful assigning grades to your days like that. It might sound like you're rating your own performance, which grading is wont ...

I’ve noticed and thought about regressing myself. It’s been a while since I’ve been in therapy so I’ve though maybe that’s the reason. How long have you been out of therapy?...
