Having my stutter for 43 years has taught me empathy. I look at the world differently than everyone else and I have to find alternative ways to communicate if I have a block. At 48, I could care les...

Take it from an older fart, I'm 48 and still fighting every single day. I am a National Trainer for the US government and my audience of 50 consists of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers,...

Up until I was 30, client calls were the worst thing for me and I would do anything to avoid them. I would procrastinate badly and ended up in some unpleasant situations that could have been avoided....

This is my fourth year. I started Early Intervention this year and was in the schools previously. The biggest thing I dread with these settings is IEP meetings and parent phone calls...but honestly th...

Yeah acute care it’s really more about diagnosing rather than treating disorders. In most cases people are in and out of acute care in a matter of days or less. For substantial communication and swall...

Wow that is interesting! Yeah I spoke to SLP working in acute care and the setting seems unpleasant especially when she told me she has told patients she can’t improve the client’s progress from their...

I’ve worked in educational settings medical settings and academic settings. I don’t know that I have a preference other than I would not prefer acute care because I like the therapy part of my job and...

Thank you for sharing this! I can guess you entered in this field because of your experience of having a stutter like me. Can I ask what job setting fits you best and what interests do you have in thi...

Yep. SLP who stutters here. Previous supervisors have told me that I need to make sure to not stutter in the clinic room. Thus far I have failed spectacularly at that. I do however try harder to use s...

Thats really great to hear! May I ask you what setting works best for you? I want to work with children with speech sound disorders and fluency, but I’m starting to have an interest to work in the hos...

Ugh I understand how that goes it’s so frustrating when you know what u want to say but can’t say it. I’m just trying my best not to let it bother me and affect the way I carry out my job. ...

Thank you so glad it’s over with! My job requires me to usually only work directly with patients which is why I was so surprised when my supervisor made that request. I stutter sometimes in front of p...

Dang, I'm sorry to hear that. I work in healthcare as well, but I have the luxury of calling people in private if I choose. You're certainly braver than I am for working in a position that broadcasts ...

Horrible moment at work

No, I don't mind at all! Growing up, my stutter was severe as SHIT. In elementary, kids called me stutterbox and I routinely had to defend myself. In middle school, my English teacher made us read ...
