I have accommodations at my university! For me, I have one where Im able to discuss alternate assignments with the professor if the assignment involves heavy amounts of speaking. For example, I was ab...

Thanks for answering! I am so glad that I was basically forced to give presentations etc (which accommodations like extra time), helped me to be able to face my fears as well haha. Most of the time ad...

Honestly it’s been helpful. I also worked in customer service for 10 years prior. My dad was a “face your fears” kind of parenter. Seemed harsh at the time but I appreciate it now. In comparing the jo...

Sort of a staged process, but heres a short list of some things: - start off by finding a good speech pathologist, id recommend against any that think ‘remedies’ are solutions rather than actual exerc...

My dh is a lifelong stutterer and was so terrified at my ultrasound when he found out it was a boy because stuttering tends to run in males more. Yes my son did have some speech issues from beginning ...

I grew up as the only stutterer in my family. Despite that my parents were accepting of it and never treated it like it was a big deal. I was put in speech therapy early which did help. My parents tol...

Stuttering is genetic in my family. My brother and I both stuttered severely as children and into our young adulthood. My daughter is a 17 year old advanced AP senior with an active stutter. I am tr...

I am a dental student who stutterers pretty badly, Thank you for your kind post there....

I was explained it could affect willingness to participate in class, willingness to even go to school. I guess that’s more of a confidence thing but it could affect learning if a child is too focused ...

Thank you very much! I'm glad to be here! I'm 38, a woman, and I'm in the U.S. Nice to meet you! I noticed I made a bunch of typos in that post title (doh!) but I'm interested to see the results. Fro...

The worst experience I’ve had with my stutter was my required public speaking class in college, and I really wish I had disclosed it with my class during the “what’s one thing you are nervous about wi...

Reading usually helps but I also don't stutter by myself, only around others. I work in a call centre too and when I'm sitting next to more people,.especially people I don't know, I stutter more....

As a teacher of young children, I definitely agree. Boys may be given the message to “use more effort to get through the bumpy speech”, which basically just leads to blocks, fear and avoidances. I...

I’m sure your lecturer would be able to help you out if you ask, even send them an email. We need to do a presentation this year on my course and our lecturer said I’d you’d rather not do it in fron...

Hi there. As others have suggested and as someone who has also dodged presentations before, I would suggest you simply give it your best. Speak to the professors. A human being with humanity and compa...

Does anyone else love playing board games with friends/acquaintances but get super stressed out when it’s their turn to read the card? (Like in cards against humanity or something?)...

You can do it! I understand how terrifying it can be. You should talk to you professor, let them know about your stutter. Most professors are very nice and will work with you. Even if they don’t that’...

Ive found the best way is to simply confront it. Talk to you Professor and be like “hey, my name is XX, and I would like you to know that I have a stutter (you can mention the level of severity) and w...

Yes, back during my mother’s match making phase. I had went to school with him and we were both in SPED together. She was horrified to realize he not only stuttered but also had the IQ of a potato. Th...

you did a lot better than me. i told my teacher i wasn't going to present in my final presentation. i even got a letter from the college/university counsellor...
