This is probably irrelevant in this day and age, but about 10 years ago in high school foreign language class we had these awful oral quizzes where the teacher had recorded questions on a tape, leavin...

I remember learning Spanish in HS and college and I always stuttered. I think it's because I am still formulating sentences in my head when trying to speak. Since I stuttered and felt ashamed in c...

I'm afraid it's mostly negative things; at least those are the things we focus on the most, anyways? One word to sum up the negative influence my stutter has on me: limitation. Every single day there...

Thank you for sharing your story. I am 27 and still have a stutter from when I was 6 years old (this morning I had trouble getting out the word "animation" for a good 5 seconds). I am also a litigator...

Definitely start practicing the singing if it helped you speak fluently. I remember being really nervous when I started college that someone would tease me, because I knew no one. But everyone was lov...

In school, half the teachers didn't ask me to read out loud, the other half always did. I wasn't bothered either way. For my college presentations, I have requested to do them in private, and there's ...

I didn't start stuttering until I was 13, just before I started high school. From the first time it happened through the beginning of grade 9, it just got worse but I managed to work around/hide it t...

Same here, I am an amazing writer and I love writing essays and stories for classes. I can really take the time to think about what I want to say and say it just right. I've been getting better with m...

I was thinking about teaching until college made me loathe to enter into another school. I don't know about other states, but I know that for teaching here in Illinois a speaking test was conducted. T...

In highschool my teachers were very accommodating, they would not ask me to read aloud, and for presentations (not all of them, but most of them) I was allowed to present to them privately outside of ...

The problem with giving accommodations is that it takes away a ground for improvement. I used to hate giving speechs and asking questions (I still do haha) but it helped build a lot more confidence th...

We're talking about kids who have gone through the lengthy/stringent special education evaluation process- very little chance of students faking that convincingly enough. I personally could see givin...

A little late but thanks for the advice! I'm studying to become a teacher and I have so many presentations this year that my stutter is crippling me. Actually, it's the *fear* of stuttering more than ...

How do you deal with oral exams?

How do you deal with oral exams? Soon I will be having two oral exams. Both will be in English, which is only my second language and has me stuttering a lot more than I already do, so I guess most of ...

This is EXACTLY how I am, my biggest fear is definitely reading out loud because people will think my stutter is a fluke, so they might laugh or something. Then when I go out somewhere in public and m...
