Hi there! He still has a stutter but the secondary behaviors that got bad for a while have gone away. He had also started covering his mouth, getting aggressive, refusing to talk, etc. We made a lot of changes in our house to allow him to “stutter it out” whenever he’s speaking. No judgment. No correcting. We just let it happen. I tell him on a very regular basis how much I love his voice. His speech therapist worked through a lot of tools with him and he uses them very well. In fact, he graduated from speech therapy a month or so ago bc the stuttering is no longer disturbing his life. We got into the other clinic but insurance apparently doesn’t cover stutter services and his other speech issues weren’t severe enough to qualify him so we stuck with the speech services at our school. I’m so proud of the hard work he has done and so grateful for a wonderful speech pathologist who has just loved him and helped him each week and knew him well enough to know when it was time to let him go—he still stutters and I don’t know that it’ll ever go away. But I don’t care—we’ve really embraced letting him be who he is. My older kids have had to really slow down a bit to make sure they aren’t plowing over him when he takes his time with his words. He still sometimes will give up if it becomes too hard to say what he wants to say so I’ve become a big advocate for him wherever we are to make sure people give him the respect he deserves. We’re at almost exactly a year now since this all started. It’s been a wild ride.
