I am not an expert... In my experience, therapy that approaches fluency with tips or tricks isn't effective. For me, world class therapy was a system. Building and developing the basics. Building o...

I've been through a lot of therapy and nothing helped until I found a therapist who really understand the issue of stuttering and what I needed. Good therapy can make a world of difference, but it can...

I really hope you've found a good match with this SLP. \+100 points for grandad. I am really looking forward to hearing about your success!...

Those are great questions. I don't know the answers to them because it was my grandad (who also has a bad stutter) who did the due diligence and picked out the SLP for me. We're driving a good distanc...

Does your SLP specialize in stuttering? What's their credentials? Don't hesitate to make them interview for the job, as it were. What's their success rate? If they have a patient they can't help, wh...

I'm going to an SLP now; hopefully a good one. I'm still in my teens. I'm really trying to put in the effort with speech therapy this time and not have a negative attitude about it, but yeah, it's har...

I went through crap therapy before receiving proper therapy. Public school therapy... Crap. Crap. And more Crap. Years of crap. Psychologist trying their hand at speech therapy... crap. It wasn't u...

If I 'humm' then my mouth stops moving (my articulation stops). How can I move my tongue? (since it's being stopped purely mentally)...

The "hh" sound in easy onset is supposed to be a voiceless sound, so not really an added sound. I think the idea is really to get people to speak on the exhale. At least that's what I was taught, but ...

It could help, but stuttering is a very specific issue where while you need to understand psychology, you also need to know about the speech mechanism and habits of stutterers. This is where a **good*...

I'm not sure traditional psychologists are equipped with dealing with people with stutter, and their methods might unwittingly make someone's stutter even worse. In the other hand, Speech therapists m...

Excellent question! ~~It's similar.~~ I'm guessing that the reason OP's technique works for the moment is humming is getting the exhale started. Moving air (breathing) is a key function required for ...

i have it! i give it a 6.5/10. my dad brought it for me it worked pretty well to begin with but like it’s kinda like a team effort?? like you have to have done speech therapy prior to using it, and i ...

Yep, exactly my experience (I gave basically the same answer to someone else a little while back). I still have mine (I participated in some early research and got it at a steep discount), but it most...

I guess that's just my experience then, but that's what they did for me. My grandad said the speech therapy he got in school wasn't any good and he was pretty picky and hunted around for a while befor...

I couldn’t tell you a particular type or name. It was 20 years ago. The speech pathologist focused on fluency and slow speech. I can tell you that much. The effects have stayed for 20 years. I went in...

That’s great! Don’t go in expecting miracles to happen, it took me over 2 years to be able to speak confidently and strike up convos with total strangers! But you’ll get there eventually, and it will ...

SLP - Speech Language Pathologist. ​ Sadly, it is a field that attracts people who either 1) have good intentions, but have to follow an outdated approach/curriculum to help clients or 2)...

Speech therapy was not helpful to me at. I saw a psychotherapist for a few years and we tackled anxiety about other things. We never talked about stuttering, but clearing my head of other anxiety trig...

Thank you. He still is in speech therapy. But now he refuses to use any of the techniques , like "turtle speech." I'm sure its partly because he's 11 and starting to be like: what do these adults know...
