You are supposed to do this method in a hierarchy. It's okay to tell her it isn't working. Modifications can be made....

With the goal of direct you to mostly free and safe resources, and may I DM you? I have some really strong personal and professional “opinions” with strong backing in current best practice in SLP and...

Most of the posts on r/slp are from licensed, certified SLP’s. They may not have lots of experience, but they all have training and some experience. — I’m an SLP...

Sorry for another comment. In fact, many SLP’s receive almost no training in treating stuttering, and absolutely, and unintentionally, teach techniques that make it worse....

It's the Lidcombe method? It seemed so forced when I was doing it with our son... he kept asking me "WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT?" -- referring to me saying "smooth speech" or "no bumps..." We are s...

I did speech therapy for 8 years as a kid and it didn’t do anything. I’ll say what would have been more impactful is mental health counseling during those years to boost my self esteem and confidence....

I’m a person who stutters (but now has learned how to speak smoothly) and works in early childhood mental health. I had an unpleasant visceral reaction to your description of the “therapy”. The go...

Of course, when you frist start applying techniques and start exercises, at frist your stutter will increase because you will become more conscious about your stuttering. But it will get better....

Me too. But I somehow found a speech therapy and got better. But still, I have to suffer from nervousness my whole life. I’ve been stuttering for 10 years or so. I’m currently working on my speech and...

Dr Daly is one of the bigger names among SLPs for stuttering. It’s key to find a specialist that you can get references on. —I’m an SLP...

This is an excellent question. If CBT works for you, great! But if it fails, *or doesn’t transfer over to situations you actually need it*, it’s not working for you. Ivr written a long post in this...

I guess there are many ways, but the following worked for me. First learn speaking techniques to manage your blocks. For me this involved costal breathing, being very assertive on the first sound and...

This is fantastic to read. What is your speech like now? Do you stammer at all?...

Back in 2001 I went to a 3 week intensive course down in Virginia Beach. The goal was similar to another comment on this thread, retrain your brain on how to speak. We learned how to speak fluently ...

I don't know that it has a name. I imagine it must. I received my therapy from Dr David Daly out of the University of Michigan. He was a recovered stutterer who was the chair for the University of Mic...

I learned fluency. I see a lot of discussion about techniques, but I always infer that the techniques are presented as solutions. As if "starting your exhale before your voice" alone will improve flu...

Nothing, ever. Sorry I guess I’m not the person who’s supposed to respond to this 😂 All school based ST I had was dumb as shit, basically just practicing reading aloud slowly. Why anyone thought tha...

Those who feel that speech therapy has benefitted them - what exactly did you learn in speech therapy that has made such a difference to your life?

Those who feel that speech therapy has benefitted them - what exactly did you learn in speech therapy that has made such a difference to your life? For me - I’ve learnt a lot about reducing my anxiety...

I've been sharing the same advice quite a bit lately. YouTube search "Camus Sisyphus" then watch a few videos. It's a base philosophy I've adopted having had a severe stutter through childhood and thy...
