Chiropractic Neurology - a revelation

Chiropractic Neurology - a revelation hello r/Stutter, I have stuttered since I learned to speak and created a reddit account just to make this post in this forum to tell my story. Having seen sever...

In Australia most SLPS treat only children, as childrens speech is a lot easier to correct as they develop, and i know quite a few McGuire members who became SLPs and are able to mix traditional speec...

Even if you have every reason to believe so never tell a person they are not a true stutterer or will never overcome it. These exact words led me to isolate myself from my family and peers for many ye...

So from what I can remember (this was 2+ years ago now), they were trying to reinforce that after the course you can join the support groups by paying membership, which was not cheap and I think circa...

Awful, this should have been an open conversation day one. I suffered with a lot of shame because I felt like I couldn't talk about it. Sorry friend....

As a speech therapist, hearing this is appalling! All of my students and clients are told what we are working on and why at the beginning of the session and after the session. ...

I wish she knew to not take away any hopes I had of overcoming it. Ever since I was a kid with a stutter I believed one day I would overcome it and be fluent. One day towards the end of my junior year...

Speech therapists are a mixed bag. There's helpful ones and unhelpful ones. I've been to three different ones, and the one I'm seeing right now is the only one whose actually helped me and taught (and...

You don't need a speech therapist. You need a good speech therapist. If you don't feel this slp is helping or you're not making progress, I wouldn't give up on therapy but find someone else. ...

I tend to agree with this sentiment. :-D Some speech therapists are poorly trained and callous towards the stuff we are going through. I think being a stutterer is having this gnostic experience that...

If they only did that then they weren't a good therapist! One of the biggest take\-aways I have from being on this subreddit the past year is that lots of people have had TERRIBLE therapy. It's such a...

I was in the boat. But, turns out the therapy i has as a kid was awful. I didn’t know that at the time. Only when i became an adult did i experience what good therapy was. ...

Yeah I share it with someone close to me. And for the speech therapy, no because all of them are inexperienced. I know some people who have been to speech therapy, the therapists told them to recite h...

Non-stuttering SLP here. This is a pretty "classic" assignment, and still considered more or less best practice for teaching non-stuttering would-be clinicians. Is it perfect? No. Is it somewhat cont...

What the fuck kind of shitty therapist do you have that you're becoming scared to talk when you weren't before?? Reading that made me furious....

It actually made me worse. It made me become more self aware of things I was ignorant to before. I remember thinking as I was going to the first session "Am I opening Pandora's box here?". I'd be bett...

Some people find it hard to keep up with the practice after the program to maintain improved fluency. You have to do daily exercises. Most are helped dramatically in the program, but not everyone is...

It depends on the pathologist honestly, as it's a field that isn't as well-regulated as it could be. At the worst, when I was a kid, I had an SLP that treated me like an infant, making me repeat word...

I have a speech easy device which is a several thousand dollar version of that. It does nothing for me. The therapist that sold it to us guilted me and suckered my mom into getting it. Now its a paper...

I think we've had this topic in here before, that of the distance between stutterers and those seeking to help them. The only recourse we seem to have is to rely on the (potential) accumulated experie...
