I'm 32 and last year for the first time I tried speech therapy. First I tried it privately, where the going rate was $100/hr. I wasn't convinced after that first session that it was going to be worth ...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Just checked with my insurance and it's only a $15 co-pay per session (but they only allow a max of 20 sessions per year!!!). But I've been having difficulty actually fin...

I don't recall much as a child (as in what we did in them sessions), But i saw one for a few years and overall it helped, i also got to school 2hrs late one day a week, so double win. But..i saw a sp...

Does anyone here find speech therapy actually useful?

Does anyone here find speech therapy actually useful? I did 5 years of speech therapy in elementary school (where thankfully it was free). I don't remember a whole lot of what happened, but it seemed ...

Wouldn't it make more sense to approach a _speech therapist_ in cases of _stuttering_? I mean, it's good that you found something that worked for you, but whenever I see someone mentioning "getting be...

I think you should try to hunt down a speech therapist in your area who specializes in or has had successful experiences with adults who stutter. I only have your initial post to go off of, but it ...

What makes you nervous? Maybe it's because there wasn't so much pressure to speak eloquently in high school as there is in the working world. There was more pressure for me in high school than in the...

Skype therapy group?

Skype therapy group? Just an idea that came to mind. Would a small group of people like to get together once a week or so to practice speaking over the internet? I'll be honest, the idea scares the he...

I think it's pretty common knowledge that the vast majority of stutterers grow out of it just before adulthood. So I wouldn't confuse your adolescent hijinks with helping you end your stutter. Stutter...

See if there is a stutter group, or see if you can get speech therapy on campus. If you have any questions during class and can't say them in class, go to the professor's office and ask them there. P...

I told my doctor I heard some medications help with a speech impediment, he was cool about it, didn't rush into it, but there were frequent visits and progess check ups. Try it out if you think it a v...

As someone who has never talked to a doctor about stuttering, how do you go about doing that? ...

Will i see any of you guys at the McGuire course in Oslo this week?

Will i see any of you guys at the McGuire course in Oslo this week? Going there myself and wondered if anyone else from this sub is going....

Nope. I am 23 right now and in college and tried speech therapy at one place before and didnt really like it. Turns out my university has a Speech Clinic and I will be doing some sessions there this s...

Had few good weeks recently but last weekend got into an argument with sister which got me pretty pissed and it went downhill. Funny how such little things as 10 minutes of arguing can affect your sp...

Great to hear! Congrats! I am 20 years old and since I am now on college and will have to soon start looking around for job I decided this summer would be the best time for therapy. I hope to impro...

I'm an SLP specializing in stuttering, so to answer some of the more logistical questions... 1. Private speech therapy is very expensive. Depending on where you live, it will likely cost between $75-...

Do any of you think you are too old for speech therapy or too old to improve your speech?

Do any of you think you are too old for speech therapy or too old to improve your speech? I've had a stammer/stutter on and off for most of my life. Most of the time it doesn't bother me in the slight...

I think your professor used a more general term (cognitive re-training). CBT is a specific form of therapy, there are others. Also, look up Gunars Neiders. He's done some work in that area that isn't ...

Thanks for your help. Is cognitive behavior therapy the same thing as cognitive re-training? During my searches, I found a lot of info on CBT but wasn't sure if they were different terms for the same ...
