Neuroplastic brain and stuttering Do you guys know of anyone who managed to outgrow or significantly reduce their stuttering as they older? I always hear stories of kids outgrowing their stutter, or even people who stopped stuttering later in life. I am not expecting to become fully fluent but having a significant reduction would be cool. Apparently young kids have very neuroplastic brains which allow them to develope new fluent speech when they once stuttered. I think even for teens and adults it's possible to some degree. For me my stutter has gotten better, than worse and than better again over the years simply based on social demands over the years.
