My tone had more to do with the claim that deep breathing exercises can be helpful in curing stuttering or that stuttering can be controlled through rhythm control. There is no cure, regardless of bre...

There is no cure and no exercises can cure this speech disorder. Stammering can't be controlled because stammering starts in your brain, not your mouth/throat/tongue. You can completely change the way...

Wow, that's really great and generous! I'm in my mid 20s and while I still a way to go, i've made huge strides in therapy. I have many peers who have done the same, so success in therapy is still very...

As a kid, I was definitely picked on at the bus stop and on the bus. Not so much at school. I guess gradually attaining the reputation of "the smart kid" helped me not get as much attention for it. In...

I think it's difficult for some people to accept because verbal communication is seen as a "given" in our society, so when they experience someone who stutters, they don't understand why you can't jus...

Well how about u define what cured means becuase I don't mean 100% perfect speech. You now we as creatures are born with the innate ability to speak. It doesn't take conscious effort. But people who s...

Stuttering is not curable. You can improve fluency up to a point, but cannot fully cure it. It also depends on the severity as well....

I appreciate your positive and optimism but you're looking at this the completely wrong way. **Not all stutters are the same**. Sure a lot of people can be cured but its not as easy for others as t...

You can't remove stuttering with a program. Stuttering is in us, literally. It's biological, mechanical, and genetic. Cure programs don't exist. stuttering isn't a disease. That said, I do appreci...

Calling stuttering a habit is incredibly ableist. It's not like cracking your knuckles or some shit. It actually has anatomical causes, it's not something we accidentally learn how to do one day and c...
