May I suggest to attend a (National Stuttering Association) meeting, if there is one near you. You would get your public speaking practice and not have to worry about what people think about your stut...

If you are afraid of having blocks when talking, just exposure therapy and disclosure, in which you just block openly to your audience and disclose you have stuttering. It is pretty normal in PWS' min...

I see what you’re saying. I don’t think we need to get rid of the word stutter but just say “I stutter. I’m not nervous, but I do need you to give me [accommodations you listed in your post]”...

if your good at your job then it doesn’t matter. Unless your on-air talent or something. However, if I have to speak in front of a room full of people for a meeting I need someone to be ready to inter...

Sometimes quite severe, but the more I gave lectures and talks the better it got. If I was in a disfluent period I’d sometimes begin a talk with “I have a stammer, so please be patient.” I’d occasiona...

I've thought about doing that too but I sometimes wonder if that itself would make the recruiter uncomfortable. Plus would they see that as a weakness and say " well you can't use a text to voice comm...

One of the life lessons that I've learned is that you need to take care of yourself because other people are not reliable. That's to say, I've had a hard time with my stutter/dysfluency and at times I...

That’s what I do too. I say something like “Before we get started I just want to let you know I stutter, so it make take me a bit longer to get my words out.”...

This is one of my biggest fears. My backup plan is to just claim to be disabled/mute and use a text to voice communicator. I would make sure to disclose that over my resume (p.s only share that you're...

Disclose as part of your introduction. Maybe even your first sentence. Mention how it makes you more tolerant of others differences, patient, whatever. Be light/humorous about it, and mention one s...

Okay, I’m glad to hear that you feel confident while presenting. I’m also sorry that you got called names and people judged your stutter as a merit of presentation. I hate it whenever people mistake m...

Avoidance behavior is not good for your stutter. Learn to accept you are different. Just let the class know before hand you stutter. If the teacher gives you a bad grade based on your fluency he is i...

You are welcome. But like if you want to overcome waterphobia, the best way is to outright plunge into the water. I know it is a very hard step for you to make since you are holding negative opinions...

Excellent advice. I had an oral exam for both Irish and French for state exams back in 1992. With a huge amount of hesitation and embarrassment I must admit but the right thing to do for me was to a...

Absolutely no sense in putting yourself through this pain. Life’s too short to jump on a visible grenade. I was given a speaking exam in college. I told the professor and he said he didn’t care and ...

I’d tell your professor of your stutter privately, maybe in a message or email. May help with the grading. as for the actual presentation, first thing I’d say is ‘hello, before I start I’d like to sa...

I am so sorry this happened to you! When you calm down enough to feel Like you can approach this you should most definitely confront him and tell him how it hurt you. This should never happen but I ho...

Im sorry to hear that, as long as it wasn't malicious i think you can talk to him about how it makes you feel. Unfortunately that kind of situation will present itself more than once with complete str...

I usually snap at the person and they get really uncomfortable (this usually sets the tone and usually puts them in their place)....

negative approach could work. A positive approach would be: if you don't understand sometjhing, Sir, please write them all down and ask me at the end...
