Man, I was you when I was in high school. I thought I would stutter uncontrollably for the rest of my life. Now, I'm probably going to stutter for the rest of my life, but it's improved dramatically s...

Current SLP grad student here :) Many SLPs who work with people who stutter also stutter themselves. At my university, we have a professor who is a major researcher in stuttering, and he stutters. Def...

It can help if you are practicing a particular fluency technique and it is not the only speech practice you do. For example, I will do some really slowly reading using a fluency technique, then try to...

I used to read out loud few pages a day. But very slowly. I mean sup-er-fuck-ing-slow-ly. It helped a little. Ask your therapist....

Many SLPs stutter! If you look at organizations like the American Institute of Stuttering, at least two of their clinicians are people who stutter. Also, if you're familiar with "StutterTalk" podcasts...

I would actually be more inclined towards a person who knew my struggle if I were trying to get help. I think it's natural to be drawn to that kind of profession if you have problems with speech you...

Hey, I'd be happy to have a chat with you. My stutter use to be quite bad but I had some fairly intensive treatment and put in a lot of work and these days the stutter is mostly manageable. I still ha...

I'm 19 and just started going to therapy again. I haven't gone to therapy in 10 years for my mild stutter. I don't stutter a lot in clinic, so it's a bit weird for me. I don't think it's helping as...

Looking to speak with people who have taken control of their speech

Looking to speak with people who have taken control of their speech If anybody is available, I'd like to talk to people with a "success story", preferably on skype some time. I'd like to discuss some ...

SLP here. Disclaimer: we (and other clinical professionals) can't officially "diagnose" people over the Internet. Based on your description, my initial reaction is, "It's possible." To get a firm a...

I am 40 and had a severe stutter as a child. I still do occasionally, especially if I am very nervous or tired. Just like you I had certain letters that were hard for me to get out - my worst one w...

Sounds like it might be. One of the SLPs here can probably tell you more. Whether it is or not, all I can say is don't become afraid to talk. Stutter or no stutter, you dont want it to start defining ...

When you get a waiver you have to go to meps and they send you to theirs. But what you have planned is golden. When you get in you can get free help. Like medicines and/or therapy. Just gotta talk t...

Thanks. I expect it to pick up at basic, but I'm also going to another therapist for relaxation/control techniques in addition to my speech therapist. I'll focus on that to keep it better controlled d...

Yeah same thing happened to me. Your gonna go talk to a specialist. It's very calm there so you should be fine. It might pick back up at basic but she get better through time...

Interesting viewpoint. I'd be curious on his response. I currently work an accounting job (don't love it, don't hate it, cool coworkers), but always wish I would've gone to college for Speech Therapy/...

Id say a minute of ordering coffee and 10 sec blocks isnt like a small problem, but you dont seem to mind THAT much, so its good. For your type of stuttering id highly recommend MacGuire though. I ha...

I am also going trough a shitty time right now. My stutter has been really bad lately and i am struggling with the depression/laziness that comes from unemployment. But it gets better. I have started ...

Nice! I look forward to your vlogs. Yeah the events of today put me in a stuttering "valley". But it's the start of spring break for me so I'll take the day off tomorrow from everything, maybe go for ...

Thanks for sharing! I needed all the motivation I could get after pretty much failing a graded verbal evaluation this morning because it seemed I couldn't talk for the life of me. So now just lying in...
