Thank you! That honestly means more than I can say (haha). I am going to check out the counseling at my college, and see if anyone there would be a good fit. The only counselor I have been to tried to...

You were [on this track a few days ago too](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/3mlsho/why_didnt_our_parents_take_responsibility/). Have you been to speech therapy? Or maybe just therapy in gen...

Not to be negative towards your advisor, but it really was inappropriate advice to give a student. I'm assuming he's a physician? Regardless, he should know to learn more about a treatment and conditi...

What do you want clinicians to know about stuttering?

What do you want clinicians to know about stuttering? [deleted]...

Well, if you're an adult, it's unlikely that your stutter will disappear entirely. It can be improved and negated quite a bit, but it probably won't go away. As for me, my stutter reached its peak whe...

Thank you so much! I'm PMing you now. But it's a bit late where I am, so I think it'll have to wait until tomorrow....

If you like Scott and Nina you should also read and listen to stuff by Walt Manning and Vivian Sisskin. Other favorites: Craig Coleman Ken St Louis David Shapiro Phil Schneider (YouTube) Some youn...

Oh it definitely would! It's a big problem to me that many SLPs only get exposed to stuttering when they are sitting in the office "treating" it. IMO it would be great to just hear people who stutter...

Hm. It just seems like it'd make good heuristic sense to have the two groups interact more - doubly so, since both groups will learn more about the other, and they're likely to encounter similar in th...

Hey CassCat, I'm an SLP in my first year of working post grad school (my CF year). In grad school, I worked with 6 PWS - 3 school-age kids and 3 teens - and only one was in my clinical rotations at th...

SLP stuttering specialist here, and my take on this question is: yes. Most school-based therapy and uni clinics (unless they have a really good stuttering specialist on faculty) don't really understa...

I'm not sure how teaching clinics recruit their clients, but I definitely can't see an adult who stutters being turned away. Most of us end up watching videos or listening to others' experiences. It's...

More like, between the body of people who are training in the field, and the body of people who have the condition. Sounds like either group has resources the other could use!...

No worries, happy to tell you what I know. Do you mean a disconnect between the typical SLP's knowledge and people who stutter? ...

We're mostly generalists. Specialization happens after graduation, and yes, there are certifications you can get (the Lidcombe program comes to mind). If you are seeking therapy, it's a good idea to m...

Is this something that is being advertised around the place? (Btw. I'm sorry if this seems to derail your original request, but I'm genuinely interested if there's a disconnect between the study and ...

No, not adults, because kids who stutter are way more common than adults in our teaching clinic. A lot of kids spontaneously recover - something like 70% or more - without any intervention at all. In ...

Most of an slp's caseload are for things other than stuttering. Many don't see a lot of stutterers. ...

Huh, you don't get to work with stutterers as part of the education? That'd make a whole lot of sense. Are they a rarity in your area or something?...

Speech therapist / SLP in-training here. Anyone willing to chat?

Speech therapist / SLP in-training here. Anyone willing to chat? Hi /r/stutter, I'm not a (p)erson (w)ho (s)tutters, but I am someone who is interested in finding out more about ways to help people w...
