A speech therapist with a stutter? What are your thoughts of a speech therapist that has a stutter? Would you find that ironic? (The idea that the speech therapist, himself, could not fix his own speech impediment) I am currently mid-way through my undergrad years in college and recently thought of becoming a speech therapist rather than a physical therapist. I myself have a mild stutter. My stuttering can vary depending on who I am talking to. If I was to talk to someone younger than me such as children than I am really fluent, but if I was to talk to someone that is older than me and seems more authoritative such as an angry grownup then my stuttering can get pretty bad.
