Remind her that it’s OK to stutter. It doesn’t make you less of a person. That’s one of the biggest things imo. You can’t control other people being assholes, but you can support her by not interrupti...

There are c-suite execs out there with stutters. I will say that a lot of stuttering therapy is quite poor as they don't truly understand the issue or how to help. Most focus on fluency or control and...

I’m 17 so I could understand the position you’re in, the best thing to do is to let them know that you have a speech impediment. Believe or not nobody cares the only one that cares is you, we can’t st...

The fact that you are able to express yourself in such a detailed way is already a huge step in the right direction. The biggest advice I can give you is to stop caring about what other kids say. Beca...

Why do you want to prove anything to them? Clearly they don't matter much if they seem to think a stutter makes you dumb or slow, so don't pay attention to them. Quite frankly, they aren't worth your ...

Don’t let it get to you. From my experience it’s ignorance on their part. If they seem to mean well I’ll say I’m not slow it’s just a speech impediment so they don’t do it to another stutterer in the ...
