I'm almost 100% certain that it was speech therapy as an adult that greatly improved my stutter. As a child, I don't think I fully understood the gravity of the situation. As a 20 year old, I did and ...

Find a speech therapist. I started when I was in my teens and went throughout my 20s. It was well worth it. My speech was bad. Very bad. I tell people I have lived two lives. One post stuttering and...

If a cient is having debilitating avoidance bxs, they very badly want tangible steps to learn how to move past it. Folks like Parry (w valsalva technique) Tim Mackesey talk about that directly. Bot...

I found speech therapy incredibly beneficial! My advice is to choose a speech therapist that specializes in stuttering. I think those that are specialized in stuttering have the CCC-SLP (Certificate...

I share my document about stuttering recovery/remission. Why curing stuttering is bad, and why we should talk about stuttering remission instead

I share my document about stuttering recovery/remission. Why curing stuttering is bad, and why we should talk about stuttering remission instead I recently came across a post asking about a *stutteri...

I started stuttering at 4 years old. My parents put me into speech therapy within a year. As I got older, it became clear that I wasn’t growing out of my stutter. Forever grateful to my parents for st...

I think you’re misunderstanding a bit. Disfluency is protected by the ADA against illegal discrimination. The severity of disfluency is not relevant to the protection under the ADA, you’re flatly prot...

They are called fluency enhancing techniques, and yes. I agree that we should not be teaching people how to sound more fluent. I’ve been saying this the entire time, so I’m a bit confused tbh 😂 yes, ...

I think maybe we are misunderstanding each other. This Blank Center CARE model that’s discussed doesn’t sound too bad. In fact, a lot of it goes along with what I’m saying! The official website even t...
