Also to add to this, we do everything we can to make sure our child knows that stuttering isn’t a big deal. It’s just a different way of talking. We never interrupt him. We never laugh at him, we give...

Speech therapy was a game changer for my son. It didn’t necessarily “fix” his speech but he knows that he stutters and that’s ok. He was taught techniques to talk a bit slower but those just never 100...

I’m not understanding why a 1 yr old received speech therapy? Was it through a school district funded program because he wasn’t babbling? The goal of speech therapy should be to *not be emotionall...
