From what I have understood of stuttering, its a habit, and a vicious circle of each block or stuttering feeding that habit. If only we could get more moments of fluency so our brains can break from t...

Use a buffer word, that helps me. For example, "Hi, my name is Pedro". "Hello, my name is Pedro " or my favorite "Howdy, my name is Pedro ". If all else fails, just disclose your stutter and end ...

Yes, I know of that programme, but it's not like it's the foundational manual for stutter. Whatever is in those pages is not sacrosanct. Also, of course stutterers can improve. That's what we're both...

You're not alone. It took me a very very long time to be more comfortable with myself and my stutter. In school it was hard because kids are ruthless but once I was old enough to realize that I don't ...

1.If you read Dave McGuire's 'Beyond Stuttering', sports analogies are everywhere in the book. He actively tells people to think about speech as some kind of sports. The McGuire programme, as you may ...

Is it a Good Idea to be a SLP while a PWS?

Is it a Good Idea to be a SLP while a PWS? Is it a good idea to study to be a speech language pathologist when you’re a person who stutters? I’m at an inflection point in my life and might go back t...

I don't think swimming is like stuttering. In fact, I don't think we should compare stuttering to any old activity we want to improve in. It's not an activity or skill we're talking about here. It's t...
