Also I was told by a local community college dean I could take film instead of public speaking because it would be easier than forcing an accommodation for such a joke of a class. Life got crazy and ...

My JOB has been refusing to answer any of my questions about accomodations. They referred me to a new girl who clearly has too much work and not enough experience. They would not answer my questions ...

My college has a student-run organization for students with disabilities. They basically fight with the disability office on students' behalf. Maybe your college has a similar group? Even if they don'...

I'm so sorry your university isn't providing you with accomodations, that is not fair and your frustration is completely valid. I would be upset if I was in your situation as well. Have you provided ...

If your school has a speech and hearing department with SLPs who know about stuttering you could talk to them. Otherwise you could go see an SLP, get formally diagnosed, and provide "evidence" (🙄) th...

How about creating a new sister subreddit for /r/stutter, but with some helpful rules? Here's the plan: 1. Only posts are allowed regarding research + tips, or a complete guide/process of a therapy (...

It always breaks my heart to read these posts because it’s exactly what I went through in high school. If you are comfortable with it, talk to your teachers in private and let them know what’s going ...
