I had one, but she didn't tell me she stuttered. Was blown away because she talked without one 100%. I think its very beneficial in comparison to someone who doesn't. Mostly because she knows what it ...

I'd recommend having therapy. The biggest difference for me having therapy as a kid and now is that I try more now. Back then I didn't want to face it, I just hid from it. Now I want to do something a...

Talking to a computer in a tiny room for 5 or 6 hours, and some controlled conversation. It's hard, kind of weird, but good. Very helpful if you apply yourself, but a lot of people decide they don't l...

I had a moderate stutter when I went to HCRI. I couldn't hide it. The founder/CEO or whatever is kind of scammy/unscientific. The therapists are great though, and you will be fluent when you leave if...

I went in 2011 and I thought it was a big help, but my stutter never really went away, and it was very difficult to practice the techniques I learned, in the real world. I ended up losing most of what...

Thank you, JonnyMorty and laebot. I'm definitely considering HCRI but it's not set in stone. Just trying to find out everything and anything about the program before committing. ...

Pretty much this. I'm an SLP specializing in stuttering and I pretty consistently see clients who have been through HCRI in the past, yet still decide they want more therapy a few/many years later. S...

I went to HCRI back in 2010, I was 23 at the time and I've had a mild stutter my whole life. I found that the most valuable part of the session was getting to know 7 other stutterers. I had never me...

We have a group leader who usually brings topics of discussions and/or list of activities, but we're all mostly regulars so we'll have one topic and then just talk the rest of the time. But we sometim...

Wow, good to hear some of these grounds so so big. Im from the Detroit group and I had heard our group was one of the biggest in the country. We're usually 12-18 people, all ages. Mostly 20-30 and the...

I attend a group in Boston at a university with an SLP program, so along with 15-20 of us there are 6-10 grad students. We do a lot of varied things, sometimes speech mechanics and fluency strategies,...

I go to the Portland NSA and our attendance can fluctuate anywhere from 10-18 people. However, that also includes some local SLPs and SLP grad students. We usually have a group facilitator that may ha...

I don't quite know tbh, but the therapeutic idea is to combine modification with fluency shaping. Like I said, I will share my experiences later....

After almost 20 years of stuttering I will try a very promising 10-week stationary therapy at a hospital that also deals with anxiety and the shame that stutterers experience (Starting in april). I wi...

I am a teenage stutterer too (age 14). If you live in the US you can enroll in therapy at school for free, even if you are home school. It is the law. I've been stuttering for as long as I remember. M...

I went to the stuttering clinic in Roanoke, Virginia. It made me fluent for a couple months but I stopped practicing everyday and a year later I was stuttering again. I did learn a lot about stutterin...

Thank you for your response! That's awesome that it worked so well for you. I asked another poster a similar thing, but besides more fluent speech, how else has your life been affected or changed by t...

Thank you for your response! I actually have a couple of questions for you! Out of any therapy that you've participated in, what do you feel like has been the most effective for you? What do you fee...

I did this two years ago, it was fantastic. My class had two guys in their mid 20's (I was one of them) and about four high school aged participants. The methods taught in the class were very rigorous...

I've participated in a very condensed version of this "intensive therapy" at my University, if that counts. It was for a grad student's research project. We spent about 6-8 hours over the course of tw...
