This all boils down to what will be provided for him. And that boils down to what the people handling it will do. Asking someone to accommodate stuttering requires them to understand what it is, and ...

Is your stutter accommodated at work?

Is your stutter accommodated at work? In your work experiences, how has your stutter been "reasonably accommodated", if at all? Also, do you feel comfortable stuttering around supervisors and co-work...

Is stuttering recognized as disability in the country that you live? Then you might be eligable for social security if that's the case. Then you at least have an income....

It might help to remember that not only were you chosen for that job (I’m sure over a number of other applicants), but you have a right to work it. So, sometimes people might have to wait a little lon...

If you're not interviewing for jobs in which voice communication is vital to the position, then it is against the law for an employer to not hire you because of your speech disorder. If you really fee...

Where are you from? What is your field? Like I keep saying, lots of stutterers are employed. The problem isn't the stutter. If that were the case, we'd all be destitute. The problem is either that you...

Anyone every just given up and gone completely sign language

Anyone every just given up and gone completely sign language I am currently at the end of my rope here, I will never be fixed and its frustrating. I currently do not know sign language, but want to st...

You need an IEP. What state do you live in? You have the right to ask your School to do a full evaluation. Get your parents to ask. You can send your parents to me and I can walk them through that pr...

I could be mistaken but your manager isn't legally allowed to interrogate you about your stutter, since I believe the ADA prohibits employers from asking about the nature or severity of a disability. ...

Yeah, I’m your resident pain in the butt :-). I’ll keep asking away. You know the ring theory of support? The person in the middle gets to say whatever to whomever. That’s my son. I am Mom (obviousl...

Yeah, there's just some things that can't be avoided, like the op said: as long as it's not like shouting across a classroom for all to hear. ...

I've found that it depends on the course you study. Science and maths courses tend to have less, while social sciences and business have quite a few presentations and tutorials. I had a really nasty ...

I'm fucked I think, to put it frankly. Still haven't had anybody willing to help me. And I contacted the generic one just called "disability action advocates" who I assume most people use. They told m...

Stuttering easily falls under the definition of a disability and it would be illegal / immoral for a company to dock points for stuttering itself. Anyway, think of it as taking command of the situatio...

Oh, wait. There must be a window within which you must file the appeal, yes? Yeah, I forgot about that. If you're coming up on the end of that, you'll have to file. The initial step for the appeal...

Definitely wait for an attorney before filing the appeal. Things happen fast (ha, in the wrong way) and if you miss easy-to-miss deadlines, you'll be denied again. They make it byzantine to eliminat...

I had a hard time finding someone who would take my friend's case too. (Cripplingly severe social anxiety that nine years of therapy had not helped.) I had to call about 8 places. The guy who took ...

I think I may have to go this alone. I have now contacted 5 disability attorneys and all have refused to take my case. One called it too risky and one other seemed to think I have no ground to stand o...

Ohh, I'm sorry! I can't imagine what "reason" they'll give you. I really hope the appeal goes quickly. You WILL get it; they're just making it hard hoping you give up. ...

well shit, I was just denied. Looks like this is the next step. Still waiting to get the reasoning for being denied in the mail, but looks like I'll be seeking out a lawyer for help....
