If your son is 5, and started stuttering - this sounds much like the beginning of my stuttering "career" (m/43). It is pretty normal (IMO) to have a bad week or two. fluency can come and go. It can be...

we all sucked at presentations. I think you can get paper from your speech therapist that you can skip them. There no need to strain yourself for nothing....

kinda depends on the country you are in. I know in Australia it’s pretty challenging to find a speech therapist that specialises in adult stuttering....

I was also very hesitant but I went to speech therapy around your age. I guess in the end I was just desperate. I have a difficult history with speech therapy and was very upfront about this from the ...

As an adult in their 30’s who stutters, there is not a lot of speech therapy targeting adults available where I am. Even when I did speech therapy as a child, it was not great or useful. I have starte...

I'm sorry you had a poor experience. It sounds like your therapist was inadequate for your needs. Not all speech therapy is the same. Think about all of the teachers you've encountered in your life....

Well I did it when I was in elementary school. I think I started in 3rd or 4th grade when my parents started to realize that it was a problem for me. I did it up until 5th grade and then my parents th...

May I ask, did you receive speech therapy as a child? If so, for how long? My 7 year old stutters and he's in therapy and wondering how long I should keep him in. Ty for sharing. ...

LOL. I welcome you to comb through my years and years of time here and find a single instance where I tried to sell anything. I advocate for speech therapy to achieve fluency. I refuse to offer te...

Absolutely I'd love to chat! I think of becoming a speech therapist all the time. I think I would really enjoy it. It's so much school, that's what's stopping me...

This is insightful. I plan on becoming a speech therapist as well. I also have a stutter, but very mild. Would love to chat more about your experience if you don’t mind....

Hello, 24F person who stutters here! I've had a stutter my whole life. It has ranged from hardly noticeable, to so severe I isolate myself and don't speak at all. I've never been in big friend groups....

I don't like Discord. Prefer to have one or a few people who really want to get better and can meet a few times a week to practice....

I’m getting new speech therapy in school now and it’s much better. The whole reason I made this post was because I was previously doing speech therapy online and the entire focus was strategies, and a...

My post was mostly focusing on the strategies/techniques that they teach in speech therapy. I think the acceptance side of speech therapy is great, and I’m doing that in school currently....

What were you taught in speech therapy? It varies a lot and the value of the treatment varies as a result. The most successful courses i have been on focus on two things. The first is acceptance and...

The more younger you are the better it helps. Because once you've grown up your brain is wired to stuttering habits and anxiety. So the best time is when you are young because you are still growing an...

I feel like speech therapy is worthless unless you are really young

I feel like speech therapy is worthless unless you are really young Everybody always talks a big talk about speech therapy, but I feel like it only helps in a major way when you are young (like anythi...

Got to put in the work. Not easy. You have to find the right help to learn fluency. This might be the hardest part. Then you have to do the work. Day in and day out. Best wishes on your journey!...

Bro , I also stutter extremely bad. Words can't describe the feeling when you can't be social and do the stuff like anyone else does. Especially when you know you have so much potential in life but th...
