I’m actually gonna take it up with my school because I’ve realised how terrible it is that people who are supposed to be in charge of little children can’t even understand and respect that someone has...

Yeah but OP can give them the help they need which he probably didn’t get. OP will know what they will go through and will relate to them, therefore he knows what helps and what doesn’t. Both my par...

That's all I can do,but my father says that because of my tongue's thickness I used to stutter and doesn't let me to see a speech therapist. How can I convince him?...

I’m very sorry that happened, wondering if it’s worth talking to the teacher about it? They should be there to support you...

I am a speech-language pathologist as well as a person who stutters: At home, let your child speak freely. Embrace all those beautiful stutters, listen to her, don't interrupt, tell her to use her ...

Is your school helping you with you stutter? Do your teachers help you? Stutter isn't a "brain deficiency". Speech therapy can certainly help. It's one of the things that are known to be able to help...

Does you teacher (and class, for that matter) know that you stutter?...

Hi, I’m in grad school studying to become a speech-language pathologist. I still have a year left to go, so take everything I’m about to say with a grain of salt. Short and sweet answer is yes, 100%,...

I just graduated college about a year ago, and I've found that way more often than not, teachers/profs are more than happy to accommodate. I've had my stutter for about 10 years or so, although it did...

FYI, you can also work with your therapist to come up with an accommodation for oral reports/presentations as well, if this is something you struggle with. Something like presenting for just your teac...

Speech therapist here. If you receive speech therapy at school and feel this way PLEASE tell your speech therapist so he/she can put an accommodation in your IEP that tells teachers they are not allow...

I started stuttering around 6 or 7. It was mostly on and off til I was 13, and then it became consistent. I’m about to turn 20 now. The severity of it (on any given day) depends on a ton of different ...

Hi Margaux ! It's pretty lame that your grandparents does that. Maybe they do it because they think that it's the way to solve it, you know, the "old mentality" : "Force more and it will works", but t...

I don't stutter, but I am married to someone who does. I also have quite a few clients who stutter and they always tell me how they don't feel judged or self conscious when they are with me. I think ...

I also had one teacher that was rude / made fun of my stutter. He was a great teacher but after that, I couldn't see him the same way like before. One other student stood up for me and the teacher cha...

Just go to his higher up. Principal or even higher. No one with this disability should have to deal with any ridicule for something you have no control over. Especially someone that’s a public figure ...

Your teacher needs some education. Do you have the support of a school based slp?...

For what it's worth, I think all teachers strive to be a source of comfort and security for their students. They want what's best for you and all students. You don't have to chastise him, but he can't...

If they do it again just remind them that you feel uncomfortable, I used to have very good connection with one of my teacher and he never said anything uncomfortable, he even suggested me very good th...
