What are you supposed to do? 99% of us have spent our entire lives and thousands of dollars in speech therapy that did nothing for us. You can’t cure stuttering. You can learn to manage it and look like an idiot while doing so by dumbing down your speech and talking incredibly slow. It’s not a mental illness. It’s a speech impediment that’s life long. Don’t finish her sentences. She will learn to adapt but don’t treat her like there is something wrong with her. Besides that’s not a stutter that’s more of a mental block. Stuttering is getting stuck on sounds like the S sound or M sound. Like muh. When we say maybe. She sounds nervous.
