Sorry that I'm late to responding here, but I do have a story about an awesome Oral Composition Teacher I had in my senior year of high school. Before my senior year started, I had the choice to take Written Composition, or Oral Composition. Now, I've had my stutter for as long as I can remember, and I said to myself "You're taking Oral Comp. It will help you." On one of the first few days of class, we were delivering an introductory speech. It was no more than a minute long, and it was all about us. Easy, right? Right. I go up there, go almost fluently through the few short paragraphs I wrote, and then stuttered near the end. I thought it was pretty bad. After class, I told my teacher personally about my stutter, and that if he has taught any other students who had one in the past. He said to me, "You know, I"m really surprised you say that you have a stutter. I didn't even notice it. Not during that speech, and even now during this conversation. But I'm glad you brought it up, I'll keep it in mind over the time you're here." After a few more after-class conversations, my teacher had a really awesome way of compensating for my stutter. In my mind, I would get nervous about public speaking (who doesn't!), but it mainly about everyone (about 25 classmates in my class) being focused on me. I'm not used to being the center of attention, and I felt like people would just focus on my stutter when I spoke. So what my teacher would do for each speech was kick all the students out of the room, and leave ~5 or 6 in the room with me and the teacher. We did 6 speeches over the course of the year, and we started with Me, the teacher, and 6 classmates in the room. As the semester went by, my teacher would have me add 2 or 3 "outside classmates" into the room. By the end of the semester, for my fifth and sixth speeches, I was speaking to everyone in the room. Not only did I improve in that sector, but the topics that I was addressing and talking about came about more fluently as well. My teacher said that he was worried that I would flop in his class, or on certain speeches, but he was very proud of me as to how far I've come with the stutter. I see him almost every day and have a small chat. I still thank him constantly for being so supportive of me. TL;DR I told my Public Speaking Class teacher about my stutter, and he would lower the total number of 25 students to 6 for my first speech; as the semester goes on, we add 2 or 3 more people. As the semester ends, I'm speaking to all 25 people with only moderate stuttering. Sorry if this post was super long, but I just wanted to share.
