As a speech pathologist and an expert in brain based teaching and learning, I have found that stuttering is “curable” I spent years researching as to why a fluent person does not stutter. We have similar physical characteristics related to speech mechanisms so why do I stutter and they don’t. I found that fluent speakers are able to initiate easy and steady airflow when talking and my airflow is often interrupted or blocked. Once I was able to control my airflow so that it remains easy and steady I was able to become fluent. It took me a long time to teach my brain a new breathing pattern. When I did my brain became similar to a fluent brain. I have never had a relapse. Try researching the Valsalva response as it relates to stuttering. This was the pathway I chose to become fluent. Let me know if you have found your own pathway to fluency.
