My best experience with speech therapy was as an adult (university age). I had seen speech therapist after speech therapist as a child for my stutter but I wasn't ready to accept it and I was so resis...

I did. I can only recommend it! I had a severe stutter with tremendous anxiety because of it. Now I'm more comfortable in most speaking situations and stuttering is no longer a major worry in my life,...

When I was going through a rough period and couldn't pull myself out, I had to go back to therapy, but only with an super good slp. I needed a professional to take charge of the situation and help me ...

About a week before I posted this, and yes the techniques hold up! I've been talking to some people who have been on the course for years now and they're more eloquent than ever! It's not just the phy...

Sorry for the late answer, 100% worth it. Biggest change would have to be in confidence. Other courses don't go into the psychological side of your stammer but it's really important!...

There is no per year membership, its a once of lifetime fee and is paid normally before your first course. The support groups are then usually free or you chip in for room hire. People who have been...

I am a speech coach and course instructor on the McGuire Programme. Obviously not the same as an SLP, but my life experience and skills gained over the years, to me, make me a perfect person to be in ...

it's awesome that you wrote here! :-D from my point of view, the best thing that you could do as a slp is to create an environment where the people you are working with can feel that they can be hone...

Speech therapists are a mixed bag. There's helpful ones and unhelpful ones. I've been to three different ones, and the one I'm seeing right now is the only one whose actually helped me and taught (and...

thank you so much for sharing! I’m happy to read that therapy has been impactful... your advice is spot-on. sounds like you found an awesome therapist, too! also, I would like to note that for those ...

If they only did that then they weren't a good therapist! One of the biggest take\-aways I have from being on this subreddit the past year is that lots of people have had TERRIBLE therapy. It's such a...

I have been through a lot of speech therapy throughout my life, especially when I was a kid. I am 24 now. I would say what you are doing now is the perfect preparation for speech therapy. Putting yo...

Advice - boyfriends stutter ‘relapse’ Hey guys, I’m looking for advice and have never posted on reddit before so please be gentle! My boyfriend and I have been together a year. I couldn’t be happier...

>I really liked the therapist This sort of thing can actually be pretty crucial for therapy success (as far as I understand it). Did she have a particular approach that you remember?...

Assuming the therapist shows me that he can cope with stuttering, I have no issues with him being my speech therapy. He would have a deeper/first hand understanding of stuttering than the non-stutteri...

A few years back I did see a therapist who was also a stuttered. It was a good experience. He was incredibly fluent but had little blocks here and there. The conversations we had were always very int...

I wish I knew more about the therapy scene in the UK. The only thing I can say is finding the right therapist is probably the most important thing and it's actually pretty damn hard. Find someone who ...

It depends on the pathologist honestly, as it's a field that isn't as well-regulated as it could be. At the worst, when I was a kid, I had an SLP that treated me like an infant, making me repeat word...

Think of them like a coach not a doctor. There will be good therapists who help you analyze what you're doing, suggest a technique or strategy to try on and also help with acceptance and confidence. Y...
