>*"Thinking because someone can't offer a full blown cure, why waste their time, not understanding how much one can improve breaking past their conditioning and more, and the other is that everyone mu...

I often blame the fact that many PWS first experience with speech therapy is that they receive in the public school system. The service the school system offer is so substandard to what a professional...

It’s heartbreaking to know that so many are so uninformed, possibly due to being treated by SLP’s without proper training in fluency. This is not the fault of the SLP, but their lack of knowledge whi...

This is a recommendation and some caveats about what worked for me and my son. First of all I would just reiterate that children under the age of 6 can be treated in a way in which older children and...

I'd highly recommend the Lidcombe program - My 4.5 year son stuttered badly and 4 months later he is almost completely stutter free. As a parent who went through it though I would say the main things ...

Hi! I think it's great that you are looking to start therapy! It actually helped me significantly with my stutter. When I went speech therapy a few years ago, I described my sessions as 50% speech the...

Therapists are pretty understanding, although they won't know anything about stuttering. I wouldn't worry about. I also think disclosing is a good idea. The only thing I would be a little wary about i...

Therapy (Psychologist) Experiences Hello all, I've been the process of looking into a therapist and although I'm looking forward to working through some difficult topics, I'm apprehensive about how m...

> No thank you. I'll never hesitate to tell a parent to pursue effective speech therapy if their story merits it I never said not to suggest therapy. In fact, I was insinuating the opposite when I s...

Yea that makes sense. I tried explaining this to my therapist and she acted like I was speaking In hieroglyphics😂. Like she didn’t understand...

Sure! Basically, there were not speech therapists in my area when I got speech therapy from 5-16, which is suprising because I live in a relatively large Metropolitan area. The person I saw, which w...

Yah that doctor was crazy. He did the usual breathing method thing, then would give shocks to my neck. I wanted to say dude that does nothing to me..but I was 8-9 years old..and was scared...

I’ve been in speech therapy for stuttering and the doctor was whack. He used some three pronged device below my neck and shocked me....

I would suggest giving it another shot rather than writing the whole concept off as non productive gaslighting. A competent therapist can help you work through all kinds of shit....

Retired school speech therapist here. That makes me sick to my stomach to read. Were you getting speech at school? I’m so sorry she put you through that. such ignorance....

Sadly, many SLP’s have no training in dysfluency and treat it as if it’s an articulation disorder, or just do the equivalent of throwing spaghetti at the wall. If you leave events drained and still ...

Pretty negative. I ditched them because: \* they were terrible for my mental health. *To be fair,* I encountered fluency shaping in an intensive two-week residential speech therapy course (Kasseler S...

Speech therapy by a good speech therapist is worth it. The problem is finding one. There are a lot of not so good ones out there too....

>it's still better to believe that you will never ever recover from stuttering - to reduce trauma > Terrible. Best intentions can cause a lot of harm. Especially when talking to children. Anecdote....
