I did this at my school so the accessible center could help me and let my professors know about my needs...

I hope so because everyone needs some kind of income and it gets hard when no one wants to hire you. Maybe since I was homeless already they will be able to help. I don’t know if there are any in Chi...

_(Just in case: r/SuicideWatch.)_ Sounds like you're making use of an option that improves your situation. Are there any sort of programs available to you for people on disability?...

On #2 familiarity makes the stutter easier to understand. Teaching is fine because the students can get used to it. I fight for it to be labeled a disability so the school will pay for speech therap...

I agree with the first\- like, stuttering is an impairment, but people are othered by it, isolated by it, so it is also a disability. Like, I use a wheelchair \- i'm not disabled until someone or some...

>I hesitate to call stuttering a disability, mostly because there are some people who have it much, much worse, but it certainly does put us at a disadvantage in life. Yeah, there are certainly pe...

For potential cases like this one, I have a card in my wallet from the National Stuttering Association that says “I am a person who stutters”. I’ve never had to use it before, but it’s there as a reso...

Imagine if we could get some sort of ID that designated us as stutterers. I mean, some would probably find such an idea abhorrent, but I reckon it'd be useful in some cases where we need to let someth...

If it's a tool on a path to being comfortable with speaking, that's one thing. But I know a lot of teen stutterers who'd take that control and abuse it to avoid all public speaking situations. And tha...

When I was in school (I’m 27 now) I felt the way you do. I tried so hard to hide my stutter, avoiding presentations and never answering questions in class. I eventually had my parents get me a 504, wh...

Yes, it has affected my job and the ability to get promoted. I used to work for airport security and the next level up was required to use radios and answer telephones. Sometimes in extremely, tense ...

You have the right to request a full evaluation. I suggest you request it in writing to start the legal process. However, they sound like they will try to deny services. If you’re ready for a fight,...

In response to your edit, no I'm not in America (thank God! Have you seen America lately?), I'm in the Philippines, but I'm an American citizen too so I have that option, assuming trump finally kicks...

Would you ever want someone to talk to about this? Because, if you would, I'd really like to. Background: I've just applied to medical school and got a place to start in September, so I'm a few years...

Hi, I’m the parent of a 7 year old who stutters. I’m super happy to communicate with you. My advice: - get your child evaluated by the most qualified specialist in your area. (Fluency specialists a...
