I just want to say, you absolutely *should* go ahead and present exactly the way you always do. Those blocks are a part of who you are, and they don’t make your presentation less valuable. If anything, they show your resilience and authenticity. Everyone has their own cadence, their own presence, and that’s what makes a classroom dynamic, not some artificial idea of ‘perfect fluency.’ If your professor feels otherwise, that’s on him, not you. And honestly, I’d raise this with the dean or program leadership, not just for yourself, but so other students who stutter don’t run into the same dismissive treatment. I used to dread presenting because of my own stutter, but over time I realized it wasn’t about speaking flawlessly. It was about making sure my perspective was heard. Now I actually enjoy giving presentations, not because I stopped stuttering, but because I stopped letting it be an excuse to silence myself. Don’t let anyone take that away from you. Your voice matters, blocks and all.
