My experiences in the Successful Stuttering Management Program (SSMP)

My experiences in the Successful Stuttering Management Program (SSMP) I went through the SSMP a couple weeks ago and thought it was, by far, the most helpful speech therapy program in my life. If you ...

Seek out professional speech therapy. Mid 20s is a good age for it. I couldn't get fluent in my teens, but the same program worked really well for me in my 20s. Even if you've tried speech therapy b...

+1 for John Harrison. He has such a mature understanding of stuttering that was never presented to me in any speech therapist session. He was the first to introduce me to the concept of paradigm lock....

The Mcguire Program helped me with my stutter, and confidence on the phones. I got a job as claims handler that meant I regularly had to make and receive calls to clients, third parties and insurance ...

Ok, this sounds a lot better. I can indeed not guarantee that this method will 100% results in a c.u.r.e. for everyone. But for me - not to mention others who I know personally - it did result in a to...

Yes. Real and lasting improvement with my therapy. I went from being severe stutterer to people who I work with not knowing that I stutter. I interact in meetings. I provide training to classes of new...

someone i went to a spech therapy group with years ago doesnt have one anymore. went from severe stutter to non-stutterer in about 4-5 years. i'd be lying if i said i wasnt slightly jealous haha...

Almost all major health insurance cover the costs for Del Ferro completely. This is because they investigated the method themselves and could see that after years people still are stutter free. That's...

I am totally free of stutters for more then ten years. Tired or not makes no difference for me anymore. I now that this is hard to believe but you can find and hear so much people abroad and also in H...

Oh dont get me wrong! I agree with you. Some people grow over it thats true. But some dont and can really achieve total fluency when working hard enough because to emphasise: the method requires a top...

Oh and to be honest I must admit that I dont know how and if costs are somehow refunded for foreign people that come to Holland for this technique. In Holland the health insurance covers this costs as...

It took me about one month before I really started to see results. It might take you only two weeks. The case for many is that they can stop to appear speech disabled in just a matter of months, and t...

How far into it are you. And if I'm not mistaken his theory is to basically stutter as little as possible and read out loud as much as possible?...

Lee Lovett. Not near you, but online. He coached me for free. He has some videos on youtube and have written a book about how he overcame his stuttering and added the experience he has gained from coa...

I quickly browsed through your post history before responding. I also grew up in Chicago and attended public schools and also went to University of Illinois. I had therapy at all grade levels. I had M...

I have both the book and I am a member there. Tried the whole method and it works GREAT for me. I did stutter and block for way to many years and now I am as fluent as anyone can be I guess. I live a ...

Find a good slp who specializes in stuttering. As an SLP myself (who also stutters) I can tell you that we are not alike in this speciality. It’s funny you say you practices speech’s in the car caus...

Absolutely! The following post has a pretty good description of my experiences and success. *I make about eight comments in the thread*, covering a lot of ground. Please don't hesitate to ask more q...

Try speech therapy again. Many of us had ineffective / unsuccessful therapy as children and in our teens. I certainly did. And these repeated attempts at speech therapy often leave us with the idea th...

Hey! What else did you do to beat ur stutter ?...
