Yeah same for me, My therapist she also gave me exercises for reading by reading with syllables and extended vowels, also breathing is the key to let stuttering go away...

I did hcri this January and it was a great experience. The only thing is they kind of brainwash you to speak differently. You will literally barely stutter or not stutter again if you do the program a...

Since you will have the microphone really close to your mouth (I guess), you can speak in a softer voice, and have a note pad near you the entire time. Whenever you have to say a difficult word, you c...

Of course, I can see that. I meant more as a way.. to practice rhythmic speech? I would imagine it would just be a tool in the beginning and then eliminated, like a walker for learning how to walk. Bu...

I actually think clapping _would_ be a bad practice, as it teaches us to perform extraneous (and abnormal) activity. Speech therapy for kids is a bit different, but the goal would be to end up with re...

stay calm, look at your notes (if you have any) and take your time! if you stutter then you stutter but you'll get through it....

Same goes when using weird accents. Try it. Its said that while tapping inbkther accents and voices we use different parts of our brain.(parts unburdened b with stutter). Not sure if its scientificall...

Hey :) unless your school is full of taunting demons, it’s nothing to worry about. I finished high school and on my way on finishing college with severe stuttering. Look at stuttering as a filter that...

I've stuttered and mumbled for as long as I can remember. I decided to intentionally practice speaking clearly 30 minutes a day for 30 days. I'm becoming able to detect when I'm about to stutter and slow way down, often using my hands to set the rhythm of my speech.

They went on a speech Programme called the McGuire Programme, which has taught them methods to control their stutter. The may have been more severe before the programme....

It's a fluency shaping technique, it doesn't get to the root of stuttering So the results will be temporary...

Whilst I agree and like this perspective, there are speech programmes out there to help overcome your stutter. Acceptance is key but you can still do something about it if willing enough....

Well start with phone practice, like I mentioned. You can just do that from your home and it is the gentlest way of putting yourself out there. Just basically introduce yourself and ask a basic ques...

You can probably get therapy via zoom. So you are not limited to your town. Blocks are hard. Focus on gently approaching the "a" sound in Amy. Gently breathe out and hum a little if blocking and...

Blocks are the fucking worst. Everytime I get a block (which is becoming more often lol), I have such a severe urge to like... bang my head against the wall or something lol. Hugs, OP. It's tough is...

Reading aloud is great and helped me tremendously because on one hand I can hear myself speaking fluently and changing my self-image into a fluent person and on the other hand I can practice useful to...

Speech therapy, thinking about what I’m gonna say before I say it, trying to calm myself down before I speak, etc...

Because they’ve taken the time to go to a speech therapist and practice the routines needed to lessen their stutter? When I was meeting with a speech therapist my stutter was almost nonexistent but on...

I’ve been stuttering for almost 13 years, while it’s common in childhood, stuttering into adulthood is almost always permanent from what I’ve been able to research a few years back. Confidence doesn’t...

I was in your same exact place. I also have a mild stutter, and I speak well most of the time. But I was terrified to read out loud during class. To answer your question… If you would like to, you c...
