I had a really bad experience with speech therapy early on in life. I had it from age 6 to about 16 and hated pretty much all of it. I just couldn't shake the impression I was constantly being patroni...

Haha, I'm actually not related to Lee at all and actually have a lot of very strong disagreements with him and his program. Like Ferris, they both promise that you can stop stuttering if you just "tra...

Hey there, is your therapist a speech-language pathologist (if in the states)? As an SLP that stutters myself, that diagnosis of cluttering turned stuttering is pretty strange. I would want to really ...

You're using vagueness to cloud your rationalization. The reality is that stuttering, by your modalities, has never been addressed adequately, resulting in this vague justification for your secondary ...

You're missing out a key point. The fluency shaping techniques don't work, and they never have. This is what the research shows. Theyre unnatural and unsustainable. This, and only this, is why the "fi...

Is this what it’s like to have a speech therapist?

Is this what it’s like to have a speech therapist? I’ve been meeting him since fall. At the start I learned a lot about stuttering and I got to vent. But now I only vent. Cause he never has anything p...

when people laugh when you can't speak!

when people laugh when you can't speak! What do you do when folks snicker or laugh when you stutter heavily even after trying so many therapies!!!! Is it wise to just stay quiet because one cant spe...

If your therapist is teaching deep breaths and slow talking and ways to control your stutter in order to be more fluent, that's a pretty old fashioned way of understanding stuttering and doing therapy...

Yeah a lot of old school slps are big on perfect articulation while I personally do not care as long as the person I’m working with does not care haha. There’s no point in wasting your time and money...

I hated her, she made me work on my s’s, not even stutter related its because I didn’t say my s’s properly, didn’t even affect me and still doesn’t, haven’t seen her in years 💀...

I disagree with the doctor’s feedback to you. A speech therapist told me that once too, but I found ways to make my speech more fluid. What’s your speech pattern?...

Sure, it's a great system. It just happens to fail the vast majority of clients. This idea that fluency works and if it doesn't work it's because people simply aren't working hard enough is just fal...

It's because you don't want to do it and you don't want to do it because it sucks. That's why the vast majority of people who try fluency shaping don't keep up with it, despite them really wanting to ...

Thank you for responding! I went to speech therapy for a little while and it didn’t help me much. Would you mind sharing the techniques that worked for you?...

The fact his program failed me and helped others hurts tremendously...I am supposed to be one of those ex-stutter peeps and I worked my tail off for several yrs with minimal success.........

Speech therapy doesn’t magically fix everything though. I had speech therapy when I was 5 for many many many many many years and I still struggle. Yes go to speech therapy, but don’t expect a magic fi...

I will answer here and then we can go to DM if necessary. There’s no reason to bring it to the child’s attention *because they already know*. And if they don’t, that’s the best possible scenario. ...

Thnka so much, unfortunately I've tried this as part of my speech therapy a little while back and it unfortunately did nothing. I really appreciate you'd offer that to a stranger though :)...

If you get what you pay for. I have a very low opinion of school speech therapist as they, in my opinion, do more harm than good. And by that I mean they reinforce the misconception that speech therap...

My speech therapist just isn’t … doing anything

My speech therapist just isn’t … doing anything Posted this in another sub but it won’t post so I’m here I don’t wanna dox myself so I won’t share too much. But anyways I’m in high school and I have ...
