Just to be sure: I wasn't trying to put you down by using the term "visitor" - I merely looked for a neutral sounding word describing all the people who frequent this place. Oh, and I guess my use of...

(No need to go private, if you don't mind.) I look at it like this: We have visitors in here who are all about that "overcoming" angle. But some of them seemingly won't acecpt that stutter isn't the ...

Stuttering doesn't stem from a psychological problem. You're drawing a erroneous conclusion. We don't stutter because we are nervous or scared or any other emotion. We are nervous/scared/etc. because ...

No one is stating you need to be drugged all the time. The point here is that stuttering stems from mostly a psychological problem and not strictly a physical one....

We don't have to make the distinction "psychological" as opposed to "physical". Stutter is influenced by what we do, as a whole. It also varies from person to person what influencers there are, and wh...

Woah. I hadn't heard of the Monster Study previously, but started reading about it at your recommendation. Incredibly outrageous. And you're right, a really good reminder to work with students who nee...

Just make sure you have a safe environment. Every stutterer is at a different point with their social limitations. I would say 90% of the time the stutterer won't tell the class that he/she stutters. ...

Your comment is rather judgmental (re insinuating that people who continue to stutter are lazy). You offer no credentials other than you're an actor who used to stutter and has worked with many peopl...

Stammering, cluttering, dysarthria, apraxia, etc I did not even know there are so many different types of speech disorders. I am sure I have all of them as I have symptoms of every one. I also have d...

Found out what kind of stutter/language problems I have

Found out what kind of stutter/language problems I have I'm seeing a neuropsychologist in ten days, and I decided to start digging into what sort of symptoms I have. One of my biggest problems is in t...

Stutter is a disability. I'm really sick and tired of people telling me to just suck it up.

Stutter is a disability. I'm really sick and tired of people telling me to just suck it up. Just like someone who cannot see, hear, or walk can claim disability, someone who stutters can also claim di...

The division between people who believe stuttering is genetic (a mechanical problem with ones mouth) VS people who don't

The division between people who believe stuttering is genetic (a mechanical problem with ones mouth) VS people who don't [deleted]...

yeah, first let me put up a note to please excuse the tone of this post if it sounds too aggressive. Yeah but we both know SLPs barely work with stutterers. And in grad school, they have maybe one "f...

>most slp's don't know much about how to deal with stuttering This sounds weird to me. You do know we're talking about _speech therapists_ here, right? That's the function I'm referring to. >s...

Well considering most slp's don't know much about how to deal with stuttering that doesn't mean much. But everything she's doing sounds like normal stuttered forward moving speech to me. If you mean t...

You need to try and get in contact and involved with TISA: http://www.stammer.in/ They are a great service and some good people. Some facts for you, you likely stop stuttering. Certainly not if you m...

According to the definition we're disabled but I honestly don't like to think of it that way. I think that I'm no different than any other person who walks by me on the footpath. ...

But objectively speaking, we are inferior. We can try to pretend we aren't but take a stutterer and a non-stuterrer, and if all their other attributes are the same, the stutter is less well-equipped ...

I don't consider myself as "disabled" or "handicaped". I think stuttering is a flaw like many others and it can be cure...

80% of the time I don't see myself as disabled. My speech is pretty bad but I can still get my point across. The other 20%, when my stuttering is so severe I cannot get a word out, I'd say I'm disabl...
