Right, that was it. Maybe you could find a therapist who read the study and is open minded and is willing to do lidcombe without the contingencies. Someone who won't teach the child that fluency is de...

Im glad you know about the importance of finding a good therapist. No therapy is better than bad/harmful therapy, especially for kids I think. Private therapist might be the best option and if it can ...

A speech pathologist. I hear those help. All I had was my PCP who basically told me to will my way out of it, and later asked, "what kind of doctor do you think you'd be if you can't even speak?"...

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist who also stutters. This is TERRIBLE handout full of "strategies" that any speech therapist who specializes in stuttering would NEVER, NERVER recommend....

Speech therapy is laden with therapists who don't know anything about stuttering. Half of graduate slp programs only spend one class on "fluency" (stuttering). Many programs don't have a single lesson...

Good for you. My SLP was pretty friendly and had a lot of experience. I felt comfortable around her. But unfortunately my speech didn't get better at all....

Got therapy as soon as i got a job. Months later with thousands of dollar spent, I'm leaving with much worse stutter than i initially joined with. FML.

>I feel like she's basically blissfully unaware of the whole thing and that this therapist appointment might burst that bubble and make it a "thing" for her and perhaps make it worse for her. This...

The first rule in medicine is supposed to be Primum Non Nocere - First Do No Harm. I had years and years and years of speech therapy and it harmed me tremendously. I did not get any better and I tho...

What was your experience with speech therapy?

What was your experience with speech therapy? This will be kinda long, so feel free to scroll down to the end if you wanna get right to the point. I've stuttered and had other forms of disfluency sin...

I presented few slides in my last sem, it didn't go down well, my professor wasn't supportive and deliberately pointed out mistakes while I presented, my teammates in my project group aren't supportiv...

I appreciate your kind words, sometimes I forget if I’m even doing the right thing lol So the first therapist he had was amazing, she did give homework and we practiced. At some point he was getting ...

This is my response to a parent in another thread. You can also search this subreddit for "son" or "child" and see a lot of similar threads if you're interested. Finding a good speech therapist who a...

Wow, that was really shitty. But, since she was obviously not a good therapist and didn't care to become one, she likely would have caused you more problems if she actually tried to work with you. I f...

Don't have the kids do their speech exercises in the middle of a crowded library. That was really not helpful at all. I can't believe she thought that was a good idea. Was she even trying to help me? ...

My public school elementary school speech therapists idea of therapy was taking me out of class once every 3 months or so and leaving me in a tiny ass janitor closet sized room with the one other kid ...

Went through speech therapy as an elementary schooler. Had my friends instructed to ‘correct’ me and point out that I stuttered every time I did. This fucked me up so badly and internalized the idea t...

Man I really appreciate this comment! posting this got me an unwelcome message about some BS "TRY THIS ONE TIP FOR JUST 2WKS TO NOT STUTTER" and apologies I didn't ask for from obsequious SLP's. My fa...

I definitely vote to try another therapist. They do not focus tremendously on fluency in most graduate schools, so try to find one who actually specializes in stuttering and has done continuing educat...

I don't recommend Speech and Stuttering Institute. I did their intensive program back with the guy who started it, Dr. Kroll and I wrote about my experiences here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/co...
