I guess I was lucky. I am a speech pathologist and a lifelong stutterer. I also have a significant learning disability. I spent years researching how the brain learns to help me with my learning disability. My research helped me to realize that my brain is wired differently. So I continued my research to see if I could rewire my brain. I found that I could. I then wanted to see if I could rewire my brain to become a fluent speaker. I studied many fluent speakers to determine why they did not stutter. When I found the answer in the Valsalva response I actually became fluent. I actually rewired my brain to match the brain of fluent speakers. It was a life changing experience. I found in my case I was able to “cure “ my stuttering. I wanted to let others know that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Try not to give up.
