I've been vocal about this in the past. I really do not like the Valsalva Hypothesis. You can probably find it with a search for Valsalva on this subreddit. It's a hypothesis built on gibberish. Tha...

I can see what you're saying, but still, it's not that simple, different isn't necessarily better; I think this is the fear...

That's what it's all about, my friend. When your stutter no longer holds you back, it's no longer a disorder....

So if you want to characterize stuttering correctly here's a list of things to note about stuttering. 1) Right now I only see speech sound repetitions. However, there are other types of disfluencies....

Stuttering and ADA

Stuttering and ADA Does anyone know if stuttering or other speech impediments are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act? Stuttering hasn't been a major issue for me in my career (yet), but...

All of the recent research I've read is neurologically-based, and that is the prevailing theory and thought in the speech-language pathology field. Most ideas of stuttering being caused by a psycholog...

Although we do not know the MAIN cause of stuttering, it can be attributed to three different things: * Developmental - Most common, something in our brains develops wrong during growth * Environmen...

Causes of Stuttering

Causes of Stuttering I feel like I'm seeing a lot of misinformation on here about the cause and probable outcome of stuttering. Stuttering is not a psychological problem. While stuttering can cause ps...

No you are the same as everyone else. There is only one thing matters. if its neurological you fuck'd. You cant overcome your stutter, if its not its possible that you can overcome....

I think it is a really interesting point that stuttering, like many other disorders, begins to become part of our identity. I know I always struggled to respond to my therapists' queries to, "how woul...

I'm afraid this is the case for most stutterers. Even the most severe stutterer is able to talk aloud to himself in an empty room or read in unison without stuttering. I wouldn't take it as a sign t...

Most of slps doesnt define stuttering as a disease most of them define it wrong talking habit. If you dont have any neurological stuttering you can overcome stuttering with speech therapy. Maybe it ta...

woah interesting, thanks for the links. I have gotten desperate enough to file for disability before, and they said it doesnt qualify...maybe thats just for that though. I was assuming they were sayin...

"You wouldn't make fun of someone with down syndrome, why would you make fun of stuttering?" Because stuttering isn't widely known as a disability. Good speakers stutter sometimes too, it's normal. Y...

Thank you for the interesting response! I understand that from a more psychological perspective my ideas are bound to have confounds as you say. It was not intended to be any kind of theory, since I...

Well in my humble yet very personally respected opinion, behavioral therapies are nice, and they are enough for some people who i believe are willing to do anything to control their stutter, but for o...
