A little inspiration

A little inspiration Hi everyone. If you need a little inspiration right now, I wanted to share a job interview story of mine from more than a few years back. I had applied for a job online and I had ...

Would you beat yourself up if you, say, had to use a wheelchair? Of course not—because it wouldn’t be your fault. Stuttering isn’t your fault either. Don’t beat yourself up about it. Be proud that you...

Hi. I had the same issue in uni - public speaking and reading were a nightmare for me (I was getting a bachelor degree in Translation Studies (exactly that)). Remember: most of people concentrate on t...

How to accept stutter? I'm 24 years old from Germany have been stuttering since I was 4 year sold. To accept it that I won't be so nervous in every speaking situation. My self esteem is low I would sa...

Wishing you luck, my guy 💪 Remember that a genuine girl would accept you for who you are and if she really likes you then your stutter won't be a problem for her at all. 🤝...

1. this person already knew a part of you and liked it. Lets see how it goes!! 2. You had the courage, thats a win. 3. Now grow a pair and face that date like a man!! your deserve it...

I'm happy to see a parent really embracing this view. I have several speech therapy clients who stutter, and I can say it's extremely normal for parents to think of fluency as the goal, at least at fi...

It sounds like therapy has improved her fluency somewhat, so that's great! Maybe she's doing more than you realize, and it's working most of the time but you're only noticing when it's an especially t...

This is really enlightening, thank you! I feel like I have a lot to bring up during her next IEP meeting in the hopes of reducing focus on meeting her fluency goals....

I think my anxiety was mostly about not doing something right, as I thought fluency was the goal according to therapy notes, but this post has made me learn it’s not! If she doesn’t NEED to be applyin...

You sound like a great parent with totally normal concerns about your kid's well-being! Remember that there is no physical harm in stuttering, and there is also no cure. Using fluency tools doesn't cu...

I stutter to and ima 16 and my parents took me to a lot of therapy stuff for it etc and I have the strategy’s but I just don’t want to use them like it makes me feel like I am not a normal human since...

Personally I hated when my mother did when I was a kid. I would feel like I’m getting somewhere with my speech and then get cut off to be told how to talk and it would just drive me up the wall. But i...

I went to school with a kid who had a stutter way worse than mine but literally did not care at all. He never came to any of the speech therapy that our school offered and I was with him from elementa...

Most stutterers just stutter... just let her be her own person....

Promoting fluency and breaking the stigma aren’t mutually exclusive. No one should be shamed for stuttering but people also shouldn’t be shamed for wanting to improve their speech if that’s their pers...

You did great. Don’t report him and do stick with the class. Rise above and don’t let this be a defining event. You’re bigger and badder. These misunderstandings do happen. I always stutter on my wif...

Honestly, your daughter sounds amazing. You should be very proud of her (not to suggest that you aren't). Identifying as a person who stutters in a world that stigmatizes and misunderstands stuttering...

Sadly, stuttering is severely under taught and often misrepresented in grad school for SLPs. Fluency is very heavily pushed and almost as a requirement, especially for therapists that have been practi...

Thank you! For her speech therapy, fluency (at least better fluency than she typically has) is almost always the goal, and she’s never quite reached it so I thought I was doing something wrong or not ...
