If your parents have health insurance, therapy may be covered. If you’re on Medicaid, therapy may be covered. Does your school have a speech therapist? If not, speak to the school nurse or counselor w...

It only impacts your choice of career if you let it. My grandfather was a severe stutterer (I am too) and was held back in school because it was thought stuttering equals stupidity. He had a very pess...

Help My stutter is getting worse like I can’t even talk really anymore I’m 15 male Austic In the us I tried speech therapy I tried counseling I’m in choir at my school and it’s just making stuff wors...

There seem to be various things that have helped many individuals. I haven't found help with my mild stuttering but I’m going to try a speech pathologist at the medical school in my city. I'm 77f and ...

Hey, I had the same case several years ago. The best advice I would give to my old self is to go through it. You will stutter and anxiety will take over many of the times but at the end of the day, wh...

Sorry to say but yeah there's a fair chance it will be worse in high school. Definitely try to get some form of counseling. Talk to the counselor about how its affected you mentally over the years see...

First I want to say that it will be hard, you got to know the truth. But know that high school will be hard for a great many of kids with all sorts of other issues as well. Even if you’re the only P...

I honestly would look for another speech therapist. Look for reputable research on the origin of stuttering yourself....

This was very helpful. Could you tell more about SLP Stephan. I might consider that....

It appears to be a fair price. Assuming that the doctor has the skills she claims. You should ask her what she feels she can do for you. If there are any clients that have presented similar to you tha...

Yes, I'm an SLP, seconding this. For reference, Medicare pays SLPs roughly $85/visit, which is 30-45 minutes at most general clinics. For a private specialist, I would say $120-$175/hour is reasonab...

Something to consider is that speech therapy is generally a broad topic and therapists will treat a variety of conditions. It is worth asking what experience they have treating stuttering. Look aroun...

I’m a retired speech therapist. You are much better off going with someone who is a speech therapist with a focus on stuttering. For most of us we have the vast majority of our experience in other...

I would make sure the therapist gives you a regimented program that has homework so you can apply the techniques that you learn in the real world. Don't get nickle-and-dimed into perpetual sessions wi...

120 an hour is not an unreasonable amount for a therapist who has experience with PWS. I had therapy about 5 years ago ( 100/hr at that time ) and made amazing progress in the short to medium term how...

Could you talk about the experience and the amount you paid for it? Thanks in advance. Also would you like to go again?...

Is you speech therapist trained in treating stuttering? Up to date with current research? Is the treatment helping?...

I can’t recommend talk-therapy enough. Ironically my partner is a talk therapist and there’s a ton of overlap between our jobs. Lots of negative (and false) thought spirals that would really benefit f...

Funny seeing everyone here relying on pills and medication to treat or magically fix their stutter instead of putting in the work of speech therapy or even practicing....

Gonna be honest, I think that program's a scam. If there was a program that permanently cured stuttered we'd all be talking about it and using it. Just start meeting with a speech therapist from the A...
