It can really make a difference to ask them how you can help, whether or not they like it when you finish their sentences or if there’s any situations where they’d want you to talk for them. Being a ...

Parents and others commonly suggest that the child slow down and/or think about what they want to say. Please do NOT do these things. The best thing that everyone who interacts with this child can/sh...

How young is the child? If they are old enough, let them indicate how they want you to help (or not help). Some of us like it when someone else "finishes our sentence" if they can tell we are struggl...

How Can I Help My Friend's Child?

How Can I Help My Friend's Child? Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me posting here, if there's somewhere else more suitable for posting, please let me know. My friend's little one has a stutter ...

Speech therapy, patients and support - The priority for these is the same. Anything dad - or anyone, for that matter - wants to do to help that is beyond being patient, is NOT going to help. I'm rep...

My only tip is to tell your friend to let their child talk. Don’t interrupt him while he’s trying to say a work or a sentence out loud. Don’t finish the sentence for him while he is stammering his way...

Maguire is pretty much the only researcher out there on stuttering who is searching for medical treatment rather than speech therapies and shits. I am so sad, he seemed confined that Ecopipam will be ...

Ecopipam was ceased due to not having significant improvements. Unfortunately :( I was following this research and I’m 90% sure it’s ended....

No, stuttering is not curable yet (and it won't be for many years to come). If you have such a mild stutter, you are very lucky compared with reasonable percentage of us who stutter. But if you are ...

We are having our first baby soon, so I don’t have any experience with this yet, but it might not be helpful to suggest he use techniques from speech therapy. Just because they have worked for him doe...

What's up with ecopipam as of now?

What's up with ecopipam as of now? Anyone knows how the trials are going with ecopipam? I know drug development takes a very loooong time, but I can't seem to find a great lot info about how the tests...

From experience. Please do not make it evident to your child. If they do have a stammer let them finish their words. Do not make it a big deal. Let your child work thru it. Don't excuse them or em...

From personal experience, as a child if an adult was trying to help me too much, it had the opposite effect. It can put extra pressure and stress on a child that is already struggling. It always made ...

Everyone will have their own thoughts on those two questions, but for me; 1. No. I would avoid acknowledging the stutter at all. I have a stutter but it was really bad as a child but as I grew older ...

My family suck , they blame me you stutter because you don't do speaking exercise, and guilt shame me that how much money they spend on my stuttering But that's not real they not spend like they are ...

Have you talked about all of this with your mom? Also, have you tried researching stuttering? As crazy as it seems, we still don’t know what causes it- but we do know a lot about it. Stutterers won’t ...

I agree to be patient with the child. From what I Googled, the Lidcombe program In Australia teaches parents to do just that and helps with ideas on how to gently work with the child. That’s great stu...

Well, either you do or don’t stutter and my related comments stand. It seems that the Lidcombe program provides a healthy approach for parents to interact and support a child with a stuttering issue....

To the person who wrote this comment, “Do you stutter?” It seems to me you don’t. I do and I would never give this advice. If you do and you give this advice, then I would just say I strongly disagre...

I’m not in Australia, but I do have a stutter and I have a child that did stutter for awhile. My best advice is to just be patient with the child. My wife and I paid out of pocket for a speech patholo...
