I suppose I never really thought much about it that way and how different it would be. Course I knew it wouldn’t be the exact same but the way you put definitely sounds like it would be beneficial to ...

I’m a stuttering specialist SLP and let me tell you, the activities I can do with a college age student rather than a pre-teen are astoundingly different. Most of my pre-teen work is finding ways to ...

>So, does anyone have any advice or recommendations for or against it? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I believe going back and do speech therapy is worth it if you perceive stutterin...

Would it be worth going back to speech therapy?

Would it be worth going back to speech therapy? I’m currently 19 and I’m in my first year of university. I attended speech therapy for pretty much my entire childhood from the age of 3 until the age o...

Then your experience is the common one. It's the one I had. There are some therapists out there who understand this focus on fluency is the problem, not the answer. Instead they work on figuring out y...

I tried one called the Mcguire Programme that worked for me. you have to work hard after the course, but 20 years on i used the tools I learned in a work meeting yesterday to get past a block....

You realize that many SLPs have almost no training in treating dysfluency. Anything that “works very temporarily” is not really working at all. There are SLPs who are trained to treat dysfluency wh...

Sorry no therapy has worked for you. They didn't work for me either, at least not long term. What has helped me is figuring out the root psychological and emotional causes and working on those issues ...

Mostly terrible responses, but such is the state of modern stuttering therapy....

Tried BeneTalk for 3 weeks now - it's only worth your time if you've never been to a speech therapist before. It teaches you 3 basic techniques, can't even test you on them properly, and once you're d...

looking for someone to practise with Hi. So I've (22M) stuttered my whole life, and over the past decade I've learned almost every trick in the book. I've had no improvements. My theory is that everyt...

The Lidcombe program is popular in several countries. I don't know how much you know about the program, but studies have shown that the verbal contingencies has no or little effect on the outcome of t...

For me it was desperation. I reached a point in my life where i was ready to do anything to overcome my stutter. I found the right help, and i had to tons of uncomfortable 'exercises' that i would ne...

some children have some kind of stutter when they learn to speak. this is called primary stuttering and often isn't a problem. the issue comes when people try to correct it and the kid becomes emotion...

I watched a couple of his training sessions on YT. Funny thing is that nobody actually used those crutches when speaking to him - sure, they could repeat them after him, but when it came to actually s...

Please please please make sure they specialize in dysfluency. If not, they are likely to have no true training in it, and will treat it as if you have an articulation disorder (like a lisp). If you ...

I did reply but it seems to be lost so I'll try and summarise again. After various types of speech therapy failed, I started to figure it out on my own. I had a severe stammer most of the time, b...

I am finally getting speech therapy! I've been dealing with a stutter since I was 9, and finally, a week before I turn 32 I am FINALLY getting therapy for it. I'm so happy right now I can't believe ...

I’ve known SLPs in a variety of settings - and most had no clue I was suffering w a disabling stutter. Not only do grad programs offer very very little in the way of *current accurate info about actu...
