Anyone with a life long stutter have success with getting speech therapy through their insurance as an adult? I've heard insurances will pay for speech therapy if you have a medical event like a stroke and lose your ability to speak. But I'm wondering if anyone who has stuttered since childhood and into adulthood has seeked out therapy and gotten it paid for or had a co-pays with insurance situation? I am thinking about asking but I want to see what the general experience has been. Should I ask my primary doctor very specific questions to yield a more positive result or would I most likely be stuck paying fully out of pocket? I'm thinking that I can go the stutter is severely affecting my mental health route, which is very true, but I'm not sure if it will work.
