I had a professor on the spectrum who had difficulties with speech so he would speak very slowly. Since what he said was always so interesting people still felt he was the best prof despite the challe...

Yeah I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this but unless your stutter is severe I still think you should be obligated to give presentations in school. If there’s one skill I wish I practiced on more in my...

Interviews friggin' suck when you're young and/or inexperienced. I will give you that, for sure. Also, they're a high-pressure situation that causes a lot of anxiety, which makes stuttering even worse...

It certainly can, unless it's literally a class about public speaking. The english teacher's job is to teach you Shakespeare. There's almost certainly no requirement that you *read Shakespeare aloud*...

I stutter, we should all accept that speaking is a major part of adult work life and school should prepare us for this, I hate oral exams (way more common than written tests in Italy) but it’s going t...

I really wish something like this was pinned. It’s painful to see so many people go through life without the support they deserve. IEPs and 504s were the only things that got me and my sister through ...

Schools will always fight disability accommodations because it costs them time and money. I had a 504, basically a smaller IEP, and had to fight tooth and nail even for that. It got me speech therapy ...

I'm sorry. I had an IEP in high school, and got no accommodations, only speech therapy. I didn't have anything in college, but at least in college there was no reading out loud and very few presentati...

I was told every time I asked for accommodations in college that stutters aren't covered by the ADA. So just know that you'll probably be stonewalled if you ask but it's certainly worth trying. You ju...

we have the same situation at my uni BUT the whole uni hate his lectures even tho his lectures are fundamental ( 3 to 5 students avg attendance out of 130), he is objectively a great professor with re...

You don't have to read out loud or give presentations in school.

You don't have to read out loud or give presentations in school. Stuttering is a disability. We may not like thinking of it that way, but it clearly is. As such, in the United States at least, public ...

Here's the thing - YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ OUT LOUD. Do you have an IEP? (aka Individual Education Plan) If you go to speech therapy at school, then you do. If you don't go to speech in school, you s...

Being 16 and having a stutter is probably going to be one of the hardest periods of your life. High school was the worst for me but I got through it. You are brave and strong, just not in the way you ...

I felt exactly like you when I was at school, i am 20 yo now and study in med university, it's just a really hard phase of life, school is a hell place, you just need to get through this, and stutter...

You will get through this!! Talk to your parents!!! Holding in your emotions makes it so hard on you! You will feel better! Have you tried exercising, playing sports or something you can concentrate o...

It's so interesting, because my oldest boy is neuro-typical, and he has no stutter. He was bullied relentlessly in school (although thankfully, in Gr 7, the bullies are no longer in his class, and it'...

Should this continue, I love the concept of overtly showing him stuttering in books and YouTube to show him how normal it is. I am worried about school, I know how kids can be but and comforted with ...

Hi! So my middle son is almost 10 years old, and still has a stutter. His stutter is fairly mild, and only comes out when he's angry or excited. He tells me that it happens at school a lot too. He's i...

Just make sure that he never feels like you treat him like he is less capable than his siblings/friends because of his speech. You said you will support him through thick and thin so I have no worries...

Im a mom to 5year ear old. I have problems when reading Pepa Pigs Books for example. I stutter on P, so she would say word instead of me. She has never made fun of me or laughed I think she’s just exc...
