What does your 504 say? Have you had a discussion with your teacher about your speech? In most cases you should be able to work something out with your teacher regarding your speech especially if you ...

Hi. Excellent question. One thing I know for sure is you should do everything in your power to get your son a long-term speech therapist now. Please, don’t think that because his stutter “goes away” o...

Bad speech therapy can be worse than no speech therapy. I would encourage you to show him that stuttering is ok and make sure he says everything he wants to say, whether he stutters or not. It's the s...

It also doesn't mean that he will. And kids can get mocked and ridiculed for a variety of things. Would you rather they learn how to try to hide or mask parts of themselves or how to stand up and advo...

Hi there. She is doing ok. She has made a lot of progress already working with a speech pathologist who has experience with stuttering or disfluency. We are lucky though, she attends a county run earl...

Early childhood educator who finally addressed my own stutter in midlife. Mom/Dad, you are doing/thinking the right things for your kiddo. Please be very aware that many SLPs have near zero traini...

There have been other threads you can search on this sub from parents. Those school SLPs sound horrible. School based SLPs in general don't know much about stuttering but the one who compared him to a...

Bullying triggered my stutter, but I have never been bullied because of it. My parents talked to the teacher, and they made sure I was still respectful to everyone. It sucks to stand out. I don't rea...

I've never been in that situation so haven't had to but when my stutter first developed in high school, I never spoke about it and the class presentations were awful. I blacked out during one and ha...

Yes, please follow up with the university to be sure you're not penalized by the professor. He could allow you to present just to him privately. Sue...

The only way to address it is to look into a SLP who is FORMALLY trained to treat dusfluency. Read the posts here. If you do not, your son has a chance of becoming bitter, hopeless and isolated li...
