First online therapy session I have my first online therapy session. it went really well and I exhibited excellent control of my speech using all the fluency shaping and stuttering modification tool...

That's a very good point. Asking a three year-old to read for twenty minutes isn't very good advice if three year-olds can't read, haha. Getting him to talk a lot as fluently as possible is still t...

I am not sure if stuttering comes From anxiety/shyness - I think it CAN be, but observing my 9 year old kid who stutters, I don’t think always. He is a super-confident chatterbox who barely notices th...

I'm sorry you had to go through 38 sessions of positivity and useless techniques. Finding a therapist who truly understands stuttering and has a strategy for you on how to communicate well and thrive ...

The praising is part of the the therapy, we are following the Lidcombe approach as suggested by our therapist. But I understand what you're saying. I definitely don't discourage or shame him when his ...

Thanks so much for taking time to reply. We are currently following the Lidcombe method at the suggestion of our current therapist. We love reading books together, so it's great to hear that it is s...

Although many people are against sending a child that young to therapy, I believe early intervention is important so they can learn to manage their speech before developing negative thoughts about it....

So I've been reading a lot of scientific articles about the developmental aspects of stuttering. 5% of children experience a period of stuttering, 80% of those children make a full recovery and never ...

I think you did and excellent job if you did all alone. Actually a lot of exercise in my method are similar, except for the respiratory stuff, that it's not important for us. The main difference is th...

Sure, PWS have less grey matter in a part of the brain called the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). The amount of size-reduction correlates with severity of stutter *to a degree*. We also have differ...

I did this program called HCRI in Roanoke Virginia where they basically reteach your muscles how to work and so far it really has been working. Over the past 50 years, there is like a 90 percent succe...

Hi! Good questions. Your first question about fluency without using techniques is a difficult one to answer and varies from person to person. Stuttering can have wide ranging levels of severity both a...

Honestly it helped a lot, I would totally recommend it. The techniques they taught me made my stutter much less noticeable....

I have been going to speech therapy, and that helped me. I learned a few techniques that helped me when I struggled to say a word. Thanks!...

I’m in grad school for speech therapy right now. What we know about stuttering- it is genetic and there is a neurophysiological component to it. It’s not caused by environmental trauma but stress can ...

Usually, therapy is something ongoing. If you say it helped you, it sounds to me like you would benefit from going again - and keeping it up, for maintenance. It takes a long time to build healthy ha...

It doesn’t permanently fix you, nothing can and they state that this is not a cure, it provides you with the tools to manage your stutter and speak eloquently and with the belief you do have a voice. ...

I took part many years ago and been to a few courses since. Once you learn the techniques, you will feel brilliant and amazing, however, you have to be so strict with yourself, the use of the techniqu...

Source? Because every kid I met in that camp who really stuck with what was learned and practiced at home had improved their speech. Carry-over fluency is real but thats why you have to dedicate ...

McGuire Programme. It is by far the best (in my experience) speech therapy course you can do. It is by no means easy, and it has to be something your son is willing to put the work into, but trust me,...
