Those speech pathologists were not experts in dysfluency, and may have never even had a class in it. Thats why they were so unhelpful...

The speech pathologists that I saw throughout elementary school into the beginning of my freshman year were not giving me an understanding of the issue. I was not improving. I never had an official ro...

Sadly, many SLP’s have no training in dysfluency and treat it as if it’s an articulation disorder, or just do the equivalent of throwing spaghetti at the wall. If you leave events drained and still ...

Pretty negative. I ditched them because: \* they were terrible for my mental health. *To be fair,* I encountered fluency shaping in an intensive two-week residential speech therapy course (Kasseler S...

Did my school system fail me? Well, they tried to help. My school district had speech therapists and I saw them K-12. They tried hard to help me, but sadly none of their techniques worked with me. ...

In elementary school, I think it helped. My speech teacher taught me how to tap my foot and techniques. When I hit middle school, my speech teacher there told me all I had to do was pray and God would...

Who thinks it's a great idea to take elementary school kids and tell them that they are breathing incorrectly but then provide very little real information or Hands-On help for how to breathe correctl...

Thanks for posting. And challenging at least some of the therapists go to tactics and ideas. I have serious questions problems and issues with speech therapy specifically stuttering therapy and how it...

I know someone already said this but it is true I went to speech therapy when I was younger and it had no affect. I haven't gone to a therapist ever since but most likely will do at some point....

I don't know very much about your daughters fluency or how long it has gone on, but she is at an age where it could be developmental stuttering- I.e. a large number of children stutter between 2 and 5...

!3 year old with a stutter

!3 year old with a stutter How to best to help a young teen with a moderate to severe stutter. He is in speech therapy. We see little to no improvement. He doesn't want to practice his exercises at ho...

Seems to be exercises more for someone with an articulation disorder. If you can articulate the sounds when alone or in certain situations, but block, have fear, look away and avoid when talking to pe...

If the techniques never help at the only time you really need them, they are definitely the wrong ones. This problem is unfortunately common bc most SLP receive no training in treating dysfluency a...

I offered something that could *directly address the problem* and is likely to produce favorable results in a much shorter period of time than general therapy or “*hope*”. IMO as a mental health prof...

Speech therapy does not help I’ve been for 25 years and quit unless u can go private maybe they’re better! But they end up talking about thoughts and feelings and trying to link your stutter to emotio...

I'd advice trying speech therapy if it's something that is accessible to you. I myself personally tried speech therapy without much success (my speech would troll me and I'd speak perfectly during the...

Speech therapy did not work well for me, maybe it can for you. But it is expensive, so I'd suggest give it some thought....

>no one realizes this is a diagnosable thing and she should be in therapy for it Depends on the therapy. Most of my experiences with therapy were a waste of time and even had a negative impact. Becau...

I would recommend not to do speech therapy honestly.  It gave me tips that stayed with me for decades but not in a good way.  I'd elongate until I was blue in the face with forward flow and I finally ...
