I do... RN (7 yrs) now in Graduate school to be come an NP. My stutter is quite mild but comes in waves that can border on moderate.I worked ER most of my career but now that I am in Graduate school ...

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...

Not a scam! (did seem like a bit of a cult at first though haha) They tell the truth from the start, that we'll never be fluent, but with the course we can all be articulate and eloquent! Best thing I...

Tips and Tricks to get through a bad moment that worked for me!

Tips and Tricks to get through a bad moment that worked for me! **This is LONG!** I am not an SLP, just a person who stutters. As such my advice comes from personal experience rather than scientific ...

McGuire Program

McGuire Program ****UPDATE**** Absolutely loved it excellent program. It was a life-changing experience. They have a very interesting approach. There not so into “you must speak fluently” which I lov...

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...

It's a lifetime programme, which you join by attending your first intensive course. The programme teaches people physical techniques and tools to manage a stutter, but doing so in a natural way (unlik...

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 ...

I also graduated from the programme. Remember that u have to keep practicing or else it will relapse. Call your coaches everyday to keep your speech in check...

Speech therapist here. It's very important that you get some additional intervention because the rate of curability is much higher with younger children WITH proper treatment. At this age, your chil...

I did see a counselor trained in speech therapy. He suggest some techniques like diaphragmatic breathing and speaking slowly, but I didn't really find those techniques that helpful. I've heard a few...

Maybe, I would like to see more cognitive stuff on a more regular basis across the lifespan. Working solely on speech production isn't "bad" therapy. There's disagreement in the field as to what thera...

Hard to say given I know next to nothing about the child. The one thing I'm not exactly sure of is relaxing his tummy. Maybe it's a global effort to reduce tension. Not sure. The easy onset + pause ...

I'd ask your kid if they enjoy it or see value in this and if they don't, I'd get a new therapist. I did all this fluency shaping stuff growing up and it was unhelpful, bordering on detrimental. What...

Therapy has several purposes. ​ One of the things therapists do is reduce a complex skill into more manageable units. Using "tools he can use if he gets stuck" is a really complex goal. ...

It's definitely a balance and it sounds like you're doing a great job. I started self advocating when I changed therapies and learned that stuttering is allowed to be ok. That fluency isn't the only o...

My speech therapist told me to go 'soft' on the sounds you stutter with - it's practical but you tend to forget about doing it in a real conversation. If you can get it down though my guy I bet it wor...

Modifying phonatory intervals requires biofeedback about your speech. It is also relatively new so hence there’s not much info about it. In order to do that therapy you would need to get the app and a...

Sorry for the long delay in responding. I believe that prolonged speech has the best evidence base of adult stuttering therapies. I have been learning this approach recently and am finding it helpful....

Well my therapist first observed how I spoke and then she gave me some breathing and reading exercises. she would often ask me to speak alone for a minute and record it. she would listen to the record...
