I went to see a speech therapist when I was about 8 I think. I didn't like her. She seemed cold, and all she said was that I was swallowing incorrectly. She did not help me and I never went to see an...

Speech therapy doesn’t work because it’s like teaching a 6 feet person how to swim in the kids pool

The damaging part is that some of those un- (or poorly) trained speech therapists say they treat stuttering and they can end up doing more harm than good. I'm an SLP (and stutterer) and I have many s...

Most speech therapists have *no training in treating dysfluency*. Literally none. Asking them to treat it as as helpful as asking a professional makeup artist to determine if the mole on your face i...

Horrible it’s far better in person ! I had a bad experience over zoom with my speech therapist she started getting very frustrated at me for not being able to give her a quick answer lol...

Oof! I understand this. I knew that reading to others was always a consistent problem, so for my baseline, I would read. And each session I would read to her and we would work on strategies. As I po...

I went through crap therapy before receiving proper therapy. Public school therapy... Crap. Crap. And more Crap. Years of crap. Psychologist trying their hand at speech therapy... crap. It wasn't u...

If I 'humm' then my mouth stops moving (my articulation stops). How can I move my tongue? (since it's being stopped purely mentally)...

The "hh" sound in easy onset is supposed to be a voiceless sound, so not really an added sound. I think the idea is really to get people to speak on the exhale. At least that's what I was taught, but ...

Excellent question! ~~It's similar.~~ I'm guessing that the reason OP's technique works for the moment is humming is getting the exhale started. Moving air (breathing) is a key function required for ...

If you go the mpi route, make sure you choose a good therapist who can guide you through the program. My therapist charged me so much money and I felt she didn’t help me at all. To me it seemed like a...

Just based on my experience, he's a nice guy, BUT he had me read things while hooked up to a DAF machine. While I was reading things he was on the computer checking his emails and others things. Bas...

Normally I stutter worse when I read lol I went to speach therapy and was doing great, then she asked me to read this paragraph. I got stuck on line 5 words. I've come a long way since then tho....

When I was a kid I had to go to this place called CAMHS and I had to speak to this therapist I guess and I can't quite remember what it was they had "forgot" but I think it was my ticks. I had mention...

Holy shit, that sounds so detrimental to your mental health. I hope you realize now thats all a bunch of shit....

I’m a speech therapist and if I were you I might consider reporting him to the state lisencing board. That’s not ethical and he’s doing harm by telling you that garbage instead of giving you the tools...

Completely bogus crap. edit: They are making it look like your fault. It is their fault for treating you incorrectly....

be careful who you choose as your clinician. i got got treatment from an avaricious therapist who cares only about money and not helping you. i was over charged for the program and barely received any...

Gosh, I had a negative experience with speech therapy when I was a kid but not that bad. Are you going to give it another try?...

Yeah I've had two speech therapists, one when I was 10 said I was unfixable. Then a few years later I had a different speech therapist just drop me and never come back....
