I am a teenage stutterer too (age 14). If you live in the US you can enroll in therapy at school for free, even if you are home school. It is the law. I've been stuttering for as long as I remember. M...

Hi Reddit! Wanted to join the community, the only community that I feel will understand.

Hi Reddit! Wanted to join the community, the only community that I feel will understand. Hey guys. A bit of background on myself, and why I'm here. I'm a 25yo male, living in Adelaide, Australia. I'v...

I am in the exact situation as you. Although i've gotten speech therapy for 2 years, it didn't help me one bit. So now I have no idea what to do, other than just wait it out I guess. I'm 17 btw....

Thank you for your response! I actually have a couple of questions for you! Out of any therapy that you've participated in, what do you feel like has been the most effective for you? What do you fee...

I don't stutter, but I'm a speech pathology student and I just wanted to say I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. Have you tried talking with your parents about your stutter and how it makes YO...

University of Utah Intensive Stuttering Clinic

University of Utah Intensive Stuttering Clinic I'm currently completing my last year of graduate school as an ST/SLP and I'm doing a presentation on intensive stuttering therapies. I'm wondering if an...

Well, in that case ... (my knowledge of access to stuttering treatment in Australia is limited, however, there are notable universities doing some good clinical research). Clinical Resources: http:/...

Stuttering sucks. Yes. But there is help available. Are you in the US? If so you qualify for free speech therapy services in the school system. If you have a teacher you trust and you think could be...

Oh I feel so sorry for you. I am 17 and also have been stuttering my whole life. Though it got significantly better with speech therapy (I really recommend this, please try to convince your parents), ...

Well im sorry to hear that :(. My only suggests would be to great some reading materials and keep looking for good therapists who have seen this before, i know they're out there. Like i said, though t...

Depends, I'm in the US (so our healthcare system is really weird), and I'm unfamiliar with the NHS. Would the MRI be free for you? If that's the case I don't see the harm in getting one just to be 100...

well those doctors can F off. I dont know what speech therapy is like in the UK but how can speech therapists not help you out with blocks? they are the most common form of disfluency in stammerers. A...

this seems atypical to me... can you tell if anything important happened before that "outbreak";something that had big influence on you? (even if you haven't realized it yet) is there any case of car...

You asked your parents about any extended family that might stutter? This is quite unusual, but not unheard of from what I know. It must be quite a shock and im sorry this happened. There are a lot of...

A dysfluent pattern of talking in which nervousness or anxiety is the only time it occurs is not a "typical" stuttering pattern. Dysfluencies occur due to various etiologies. It may be a secondary beh...

"Stutter isn't caused by anxiety" for me, this is bullshit. Of course, stuttering *does* cause anxiety, but is also caused by it. The thing is, stuttering has two roots: emotional and physiological. ...

I'm not a professional, but I'm pretty sure depression can have an impact on stuttering. I know anxiety causes stuttering for a lot of people. It seems like they would be directly related. I've alw...

I was like you when I was 16. I've always had a mild stutter. It's good though that you want to take care of it now. There's a website called www.stutteringhelp.org that has a lot of helpful things to...

Hi there! Contact your local speech-language pathologist. Also local universities with graduate programs in speech therapy may offer services for a discounted rate. ...

I'm going to school at IPFW in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Swish, thanks for the story. Nice to meet you. It's nice to hear other people's stories and how they got, or are getting through it. I went to spee...
