Lee is wonderful and totally gets it. You're lucky to have had her as a professor. Counseling is scary and yes you might make mistakes, but you will learn and get better. The main points I'd say are t...

Firstly, Hi thanks for posting. You already sound like you'd make a good slp. Secondly, considering most SLP programs don't spend much time on stuttering, I'd say it's totally normal to feel terrified...

I’m a new Speech Therapist and I need your advice Hi! I’m a first year SLP in the US school system. I work in both public and private schools. I recently screened a few students that stutter. Full dis...

Go in with an open mind and see how you feel. I personally stuttering is more therapist dependent than other disorders. I hope y'all talk about goals and what you want and not just how to make you stu...

Yes. Best advice I can give you is work in tandem with an Speech Therapist and a Psychologist. Do some research before picking yours tho, not all speech therapists are used to handle us and while mo...

I don't think to bad to see a speech therapist before it might start bothering her, but I will say it's very important to find a good one, because most speech therapist don't actually learn a lot abou...

For me, I had to learn it. My first therapist taught me tips and tricks. The second and last one helped me accept my stutter which resulted in less stuttering. I am not ashamed of my stutter. It's not...

Mcguire Programme

Mcguire Programme Hi Guys, I'm new to this page, and just from scrolling down, I've noticed that the Mcguire Programme has not been brought up much at all. Just some context about me. I've been stut...

It was very helpful to me! I did speech therapy as a child and teenager. I only have one tip for you: if it doesn’t work well with the first therapist, take your time and find someone else. It is very...

Another SLP chiming in! Definitely shop around for a better therapy fit. Unfortunately, many therapists in our field are frankly out of date when it comes to fluency therapy and don’t know what to act...

Hi OP, I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine how tough this situation is on you as a parent. I’m not exactly sure what the S-LP did with your son (speaking quietly isn’t something we’ve learned in school - ...

Good point! In our research we found that some people like this, while others not. That's why there is the possibility to the turn on and off this feature. Everyone is different, but I have seen ...

I think each pws is unique and comes to therapy for different things. Setting those goals out at the beginning of your professional relationship is critical. There are people who just want to able t...

1: Porn use has no specific bearing on stutter in the scientific consensus, no. 2: I didn't link to sources, I linked to Wikipedia, which has sources for you (notice the word "aggregated" up there). ...

Maybe you could email the therapist or the clinic to make your first appointment? I'm a second year SLP grad student and over the summer I worked with a gentlemen (23 year old male) who stutters and w...

Interesting! I just went on a date with a guy who said something similar, that he was nervous and it helped him feel more comfortable. On an unrelated note, I’m studying to become a therapist and thi...
