Not techniques. I'm familiar with the techniques. Many of them were part of my overall therapy program. My speech therapy was learning to speak fluently, not to correct my disfluent speech. As I ...

I think people have been told that there's nothing for them, so they must accept their stutter and move on. The issue occurs when, not that stuttering shapes your identity, but when it becomes your id...

1.) Stuttering is not a psychological habit. It’s a neurological thing and the ADA has it listed as a legit disability. 2.) It’s not physical either. Invisible disability are well, non-physical disa...

The cause of stuttering is differences in our auditory processing system and our internal timing, which is what supports fluent speech and what the basal ganglia is partly responsible for. I believe t...
