Actual speech therapist here. Current trends in research recommend therapy focuses dually on building confidence/comfort with stuttering to improve overall communication as well as giving behavior modification and fluency shaping strategies to help give you more control when you need it. We can’t get rid of a stutter, but can make recommendations to make things easier.What you do in your sessions entirely depends on what your personal goals are. Make sure you find an SLP who is comfortable with working with people who stutter and is current in the research! Fluency disorders aren’t consistently reported by SLPs as the area people are the least confident in treating. Shop until you find someone who fits your needs and is current!
