Oh yes I have a lot of trouble breathing in through my nose. Even after 2 surgeries, haha! I was born with a bad nose I guess, is part of it. And because of that I became completely accustomed to mout...

I liked reading your story and I'm glad you shared it. I'm a graduate student studying speech language pathology. r/SLP should have some good information and friendly conversation. Maybe you had an SL...

Hi, I am a stutterer too. I suggest you to go to a therapist and just attend one session, you'll feel the difference and realize the misconceptions we live with. Instead of hiding, you'll make an effo...

I've seen an otorhinolaryngologist several times in my life but it never occurred to me to mention my stutter to them. I doubt they would have heard me stutter as I often don't stutter with people whe...

Hi!, It went really well actually. She evaluated me and asked me all kinds of questions and made me do all kinds of sounds so she could figure out how severe my problem was. Then, she used a couple ...

I'm seeing a otorhinolaryngologist for the first time in my life and I'm really nervous. Stuttering is something I've had to deal with pretty much my entire life, and now (I'm 20) I'm finally doing so...

>Saw a speech therapist in grade 3. Speech improved a bit but not by much. Haven't seen one since You definitely should see an speech therapist again. Even if it sucks, it can only help. >My s...

Speech pathology student here! Stuttering usually presents in three different ways: blocking, repetitions, and prolongations. Repetitions are what people usually think about when someone describes stu...

Think of stuttering as an iceberg model i.e. 10% is what you see, 90% is what you don't see. The act of stuttering is just the end result of a myriad of other things that went wrong i.e. word scanni...

So was she a private SLP? Did you get speech therapy services in school? If she had an license through ASHA (the American speech and hearing association), she was probably 'legitimate'. However, many...

I hate that fact that speech pathologists and researchers don't understand what stuttering is. It's like that line from Good Will Hunting "If I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinn...

It's a short term solution. Long term your doing more damage then good behaviorally and neurologically. As a stutterer, we need to fix tear down and build our speech from he ground up. No short cut...

Did you go to speech therapy? Did it help? Why or why not?

Did you go to speech therapy? Did it help? Why or why not? I am a student who is studying to be a speech pathologist (AKA speech therapist). I have read some threads about stuttering and sometimes com...

Mcguire Programme

Mcguire Programme Has anyone here tried the Mcguire Programme? Did it work for you? Is it a scam? My fiancé is thinking of trying this. He has had a stutter from childhood and from what I have read o...

I think work is by far my biggest concern, but I am doing speech therapy soon and am in school headed towards a career in law. If you don't mind, may I ask you a work related question? What am I loo...

I don't think there is anything all that unusual about your stutter as you describe it. It sounds like you're very internalized with it. You have certain sounds you react to and you are using avoidan...
