Not me, but my PROMPT instructor stuttered and she was awesome. That’s three days of intensive training/presentation. She also shared therapy videos in which she was disfluent. I don’t see why stutter...

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...

I’m an SLP who stutters. I have never been told to speak more fluently. I honestly see it as a strength because I know how frustrating it can be to not always communicate as well as I’d like to. Don’t...

I feel your pain, anguish and sense of isolation as a person who stutters. It started at the age of 5 (vicious dog attack) and I still have it today. I've had 20 years of speech therapy which has r...

But stutter _is_ a problem. Lots of things are, to be honest. It's just important that we place the perspective correctly when we call something 'a problem'. And besides, there are those around us wh...

I am not blaming society for we being stutterers. I am blaming it for making it a problem or impediment. My goal with this post was to expose that the fact of repeating syllables or having blocks shou...

>society is wrong in so many ways. Deal with it. Society is not the one that has to live the life as a stutterer and society doesn’t really give a crap about your hurt feelings. You deal with yours...

>This indicates me that we stutterers are not the problem, but the society is. I think - respectfully - that this is a false dichotomy. There's no need for an "either/or" here. Stuttering is a ph...

No. Simply no. The kid asked a simple question, probably out of curiosity. Why shouldn’t a kid ask such a question? Your teacher could have expanded on the subject, said you have a stutter or some...

It’s a remarkable film. The speech therapist in the film uses many common speech techniques. It gave me a lot of confidence to see how a king (!) could still rule a land and be given respect, despite...

Michigan State has posted surveys on here in the past. I emailed the guy doing the surveys to ask him some questions about stuttering. Maybe you could contact him through the surveys and ask him s...

I’m glad to hear that. And it’s funny now cause I own a Independent insurance agency lol. All they see is how cheap my prices are and not my stutter 😂...

And trust me, kids are external beings in the literal sense. They rarely think about themselves for the most part, just what's around them. Your son on the other hand has doubts about his fluency, tha...

Like I said, I had an on and off stutter when I was kid so I can at least understand where your son's coming from. I never went to any speech therapy classes nor attended any NSA events. It simply wen...

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...

Who am I? Just an individual that has stuttered since 2015 due to a head injury. Before then, I was extremely fluent and only had an on and off stutter during my childhood. What is my expertise? No...

Why would you presume such a thing? If it sounds a bit crude and straight forward in some parts then I apologize, but I'm only trying to help those that want a way out. I've stuttered for countless ye...

Single. Had a relationship few years back but I was in a dark place. I wasn't really happy with who I was so I decided to stop with the relationship mainly it was due to my self-confidence. Here I am ...

It sounds like it was a really hard moment, but honestly that's so fucking cool that you did it. You stutter, but that doesn't mean you're not capable, and you proved that to everyone who heard the pa...
