Nope. Easy answers are seldom correct for complicated events… Speaking (and stuttering) involves an on-the-spot interaction of physiological coordination, higher level thinking, psychological conditio...

lack of awareness is a huge problem, they have no clue. even the dictionary doesn’t clearly differentiate between “stuttering” out of nervousness/when thinking and actual stuttering...

It's really crazy to think about because we all know unequivocally that this is true yet I cannot figure out why speech-language therapists deployed in schools, privately, et c. almost always approach...

Follow up question- when did you start seeing your stutter as a stutter? Might seem weird but from my gen z POV many "differences" per say decades ago were just seen as problems. I can totally imagi...

The name in general is a huge turn off. Also if you are marketing to speech therapists to use in conjunction with therapy, the logo is misleading as it seems like it is an app to work on /s/ sounds f...

Something to consider is your use of "stutterer" to refer to your audience. You'll find some people don't like the term and would rather be referred to as a person/child who stutters, while others ar...

No. What will be more disrespectful is that after a series of trials and errors, and the researchers shrug the shoulders to say 'there is no way to cure stuttering and let's just accept it!' LOL. Ju...

Probably not. Cuz stutter was proven a neurological disorder and MRIs, BCIs, and similar medical equipments tailored to neurology were just invented around 80's in the last century and there is nearly...

As others have said, that is not how language acquisition works. Stuttering is not contagious, not does one learn stuttered speech. Think of it this way: “If you had a limp when walking, would you...
