A couple things: 1) I know of no studies investigating whether the moment of stuttering is related to sex hormone release (you mention PMS). That being said, given the gender disparity (3M:1F) there'...

Hey there! I remember stuttering since I was a kid, my friend's mom would mention to her that I have a speech problem or kids in school would make fun the way I talked. But, stuttering runs in my fa...

I asked my physician about this a while back. He looked into it and found nothing in the literature to support it....

As far as I know there has never been a correlation between food/diet and stuttering, and if there was it'd be pretty weird. It would be a bad idea to eat less just because it appears to have made you...

Stuttering SLP here, resurgence of [recovered] stuttering is exceedingly rare--in fact unheard of except in cases of neurological trauma. I'm suspect of a psychogenic cause of stuttering, it also bein...

SLP here. I would encourage you to see a doctor (neurologist specifically, if possible), since what you are describing is a little unusual, given the pairing with the language processing difficulties....

I saw a speech therapist from 4-7 grade (I'll be a junior in HS this fall) and I have yet to figure it out either. I needed to leave her another message today and I figured, screw it! Not even gonna g...

Same here. I've been going to speech therapy since 1st grade and I'm going to be a senior in high school this fall and I still can't say my name fluently every time. ...

I would say a certain kind of speech therapy really helps. Bot sure where you r located, but I went to the American Institute for Stuttering in NYC when I was sixteen - it's a three week intensive wh...

Thanks for the encouraging words :) However I do get the feeling that you think speech therapy is expensive and that the return on investment isn't good. I live in a third world country and it isn't ...

My mother tongue is Hindi. I am from India so I guess my english is not that bad :) And I feel I should apologize for generalizing things a bit in my earlier comment. The most enigmatic thing about s...

I don't know about you but I always used to think that I was very different from others and that my stuttering hinders me from living fully. Like it was a burden on my shoulders that I have to carry w...

Well, I have stuttered all my life ( I'm 24) but lately I have learned that embracing and accepting my stutter is really the only way it would let go of me. I guess, when we accept it and proudly embr...

The closest place to me is Edmonton and its a three hour drive away. I recently did a Skype call with one of their speech language pathologists but it seems expensive. I decided not to go and just liv...

Speech therapy is the "hard way". It is also the way that will last you the rest of your life. I highly encourage anyone who stutters to seek the help of a speech language pathologist who specialize...

On phone so forgive spelling. I was 23 when I went to my first adult speech therapy session. The first day was sort of an eval, if you will. I was a complete train wreck stuttering over every other wo...

Speech therapists: the good, the bad, and the ugly

Speech therapists: the good, the bad, and the ugly I'm an SLP who is trying to learn more about fluency and I really enjoy this subreddit. It sounds like most people here have had at *least* one exper...

Should I?

Should I? I'm going to high school next year and have been placed with a choice. I can either continue speech or stop it. I'm thinking of stopping it. I feel comfortable that if I do I won't face any ...

OP -- look up the Michael Palin Centre. It's in London, Islington i believe. They probably have a more specific list of resources than reddit. ...

Just curious

Just curious How many of you go to a speech tutor/therapist or whatever you want to call them. I am mainly curious on people outside of school where you see a speech person during class. I am curious ...
