Stop promoting nonsense in here. People like you risk hurting others.   --- *EDIT:* >Edited my reply in an effort to stop triggering nukefudge who appears to be a rather aggro speech therapist. See further comments below. This sort of personal attack is completely unwarranted and unfounded.   --- *Comment moved:* > invested in the industry Come off it. You sound like a conspiracy theorist. Where I live, speech therapy is free, provided by the government. I would wish the same for everyone. - > in my experience they are few and far between Just because you had no luck - whatever it is you tried - doesn't mean you should try spoiling it for others. Anecdotes are worthless. - >a long and expensive speech therapy course Sounds like a bad investment. Speech therapy is not a "course". It's an ongoing thing, depending on the stutterer in question. I don't know what you tried, but I'm not really interested either. It's much more important to stop you from spreading nonsense. - And of course there are many systems of support. But that in no way implies you should try discouraging others from seeking out professionals. We get people like you in here from time to time, and it's always that same mistake: You're angry that something didn't work, and you want to get back at things somehow, by controlling the choices of others. It's all terribly unscientific and narrowminded. Just stop it already.
