Really support her, don't be afraid to talk about it and ask her how she's feeling about it, stay on this subreddit (if you're a regular member of reddit), when she's older look into a support group n...

I’m a 22-year-old female. I’ve stuttered all of my life. When I was a child, my stutter was severe. Now, I would say my stutter is very mild. I go through periods where I don’t stutter at all, but I a...

Even at age 3 he should be eligible for speech services through your local school district - reach out to them....

It won’t hurt to take him to a speech pathologist, they’ll know the best steps to take. He may grow out of it at some point, but it’s best to address it early on. Also, be sure to let his teachers k...

There’s a genetic disposition, according to research. Learning from parents might also have a role as well. That’s why stuttering is called multifactorial disease, doesn’t just have one underlying cau...

I mean, you wouldn't want to pretend forever that it wasn't there at all. You'd need to figure out if the kid was okay with it, also (but obviously in a way that makes sense). Otherwise, you might ris...

For years I've called it stuttering but was told by a speech pathologist during a consultation that wasn't the case. She said what my son had was more of a stammer and that there was a difference. I t...

Just to be clear. A stutter and stammer are the exact same things. Secondly I'm just getting the vibe that there's some panic here. That you think he missed out on a job opportunity because of it. Ha...

Youre definitely right and you can't just barge into the classroom to educate. Its more of an issue with the educational system I think. It would be fabulous if schools just took charge and worked to ...

Thank you for your advice! I think I will send the parent some resources on support groups. I've heard FRIENDS is a good one. I think they're doing lots of online workshops right now and I also thi...

Not to sound cheesy but this is really making me happy seeing how much effort you're putting into this 😭 I once saw a sister make fun of her brother for stuttering at my job and man, that broke me. I...

Sorry I'm only seeing this now! Yeah I live in Dublin and the teacher in my school teaches accounting. He's also a rugby coach aswell so yeah his stammer doesn't stop him. He's friends with male and ...

I suppose instead of you contacting each teacher you're going to have, perhaps contact central administration (or whatever it might be called) and ask how you might do this sort of thing. They might ...

Lee is wonderful and totally gets it. You're lucky to have had her as a professor. Counseling is scary and yes you might make mistakes, but you will learn and get better. The main points I'd say are t...

I honestly can only imagine how it feels. I definitely will stress that their thoughts and words are important! I don’t want them to feel broken. But I do want to be there if they need someone to talk...

Parent and teacher education has already started! I want my students to feel as though they have a team on their side, and don’t ever shy away from talking. I actually just passed out info on this tod...

Because it's not a "thing". Hes a young teenage lad. More interested in playing online games with his friends. We had therapy a few years ago. He hated it. She talked to him like he was a baby. Refuse...

Your high school should have a resident speech-language pathologist that works for the school county/district. Talk to your mom, go see school counselor, school administrator. Advocate for yourself!...

Yes, considering this is research with minors, the consent form will have a place for both the person participating and parents to sign....
