Please read the whole thing I know it's a little long but I wanted to give you a little more insight instead of just saying Yes or No. :) In my life I've been to about 5 or 6 speech therapist, and I'...

From my experience going as I was younger, all I did was okay with playdough and sound out words. I still have a stutter, I learned all my tips from my grandma....

Hi Bob! The chapter following this one is about intensive speech therapy and how it improves fluency by normalizing/correcting for many of these deficits. But the etiological deficits (root causes) in...

We appear to at least agree that, a specific supplement or drug, when used in tandem with some sort of speech therapy or technique, can be effective. I am raising this debate mainly because, based p...

Speech therapy wouldn't help neurological stuttering? Firstly, all stuttering is neurological on some level. Secondly, what did they mean by benefit? If they mean make you stop stuttering, that's an a...

Looking for someone in UK to be part of a documentary

Looking for someone in UK to be part of a documentary I’m a speech therapist working in the UK. I am planning to make a documentary following a client’s journey through therapy. I deliver a new therap...

Interesting. The people who beat (reduced by 99,9%) their stutter (some of them after 40 years of stuttering) would disagree....

Hi there, you should try some speach therapies, there are good ones out there, it is very likely that one of them will significantly improve your speech and reduce the stuttering events. The less stu...

No psychological aspect to the therapy I received. At least not directly. I wasn't allowed to use what I learned until a certain milestone. I think sustained success in a controlled environment certai...

Statistically it's less likely that children in school age will outgrow it, some do of course. Like the other comments say, finding a good SLP that specializes in stuttering is key. Keep the process ...

I had a stutter until about 1st grade. I was able to get rid of mine by seeing a speech therapist very frequently. Another commenter here mentioned how important it is for family and therapists to fra...

If you can find a good speech therapist, it doesn't hurt to get a consult. And if it's something that bothers her and she's hiding it, it could be a good thing. But I stress the need to find a good th...

Seeing the Bright Side of Things

Seeing the Bright Side of Things Hello everyone! I’ve been experiencing more disfluencies this past week, which have mostly been repetitions (even though my primary diagnosis was a speech block). I’v...

My stuttering has increased up to 500% in the last couple of days.

My stuttering has increased up to 500% in the last couple of days. Ughh!!...

Right, that was it. Maybe you could find a therapist who read the study and is open minded and is willing to do lidcombe without the contingencies. Someone who won't teach the child that fluency is de...

Thanks, i will definitely read that👍 Everything you're saying makes a lot of sense. My own coping mechanisms and unhealthy avoidance techniques became a big part of my problem early on. I can't assu...

I am studying to be a speech therapist and I have heard of this. With names, it is hard because you can't switch the word up to avoid the stutter. I treated a teenager and one of his things is he coul...

I am excited for you that you're going to speech therapy. Do the work. Believe in the program. Don't expect immediate results. Fingers crossed that the therapy is effective for you!...

If it is negatively affecting you that much, as it did me too, then try a different therapy. The biggest obstacle is money. I don’t know what to say about that. I saw some very young people (<10 ye...

Thank you very much for spreading the knowledge. I also checked your other post and I agree 100% you, after all these years of speech therapy and base my whole day or even my self worth on how fluent ...
