Thank you for the steps. As parents we will do our best for him. But at school we are worried from his friends to make fun of him. Even his siblings at home made fun of him. We explained to them that ...

She isn’t in the special education program already?? That’s surprising. Does she not have a speech therapist in school? Does she have IEP?...

Hey, my son is stutterer. 6 grade was the worst for him. Absolutely bad. He was new to middle school, kids at that age are mean, most kids had no clue what’s wrong with my son’s speech. My son had sch...

sometimes, parents are your worst enemy. the kind of parents who pretend their children don't need help. accommodation for disabilities shouldn't begin at schools, it should begin at home. parents who...

1. Speech therapy 2. IEP 3. Advocating for him 4. Don’t finish sentences for him. Let him take his time 5. Know that his speech will be perfect one day and he’ll stutter a lot the next day 6. Find his...

Wow that sounds like a really challenging situation, definitely a lot of pressure to put on you as a child. I don't stutter myself, I'm a speech therapist and have friends and colleagues who stutter....

i hated this situation in my school days. as someone suggested, try saying yes mam when they call your name. also you can talk to the teacher someday when they are alone, like you stutter in this wor...

Thank you so much for your input! I’ll look to see if there’s any providers near us. We homeschool, which is both good and bad when it comes to speech. We loose some of the free resources, but because...

Okay so I’m a speech therapist so take this with a grain of salt! A lot of speech therapists are unfortunately hesitant to work with people who stutter because they feel under qualified so I would def...

The best thing you can do is keep encouraging him to be himself regardless of what others say. He’s already confident so that’s good 😊 Be his best advocate. Talk with his teachers about letting him b...

I'd literally try to record those fuckers saying stuff like that. It's just cruel to mock people with disability. You said your family mocks you too so that might not be an option, but if your parents...

Please let your parents know about the situation and have them call the school to grill them about this situation. Your voice matters so the teacher should be accommodating for you or anyone else who ...

No history but my son has stutter. He is now 14. I don’t think I’ve worked as hard on any of my kids as I have on this one. First because he is the eldest and second because I know he has a slight dis...

You are recommending to avoid those teaching the very thing that the concerned parent is worried about and the thing the child is actively struggling with? What kind of backwards advice is this? OP I...

As a children’s mental health professional who also stutters, I would think that teaching your child to advocate for himself would have been the very first thing you and his assigned SLP would do. Up...

One advice I can give you as a parent is to stay on top of your child’s IEP and make his speech therapist your best friend. I am not sure why your son has an option of recording videos for presentatio...

regularly let him talk about his interaction with teachers. teachers he love. teachers he hate but respect. teachers who are disrespectful. biggest mistake my parents made was assuming that, every ti...

I think ours tries that. And my son swears he understands all that. But he might be struggling to put it into real world practice :(...

See that’s the thing between a good speech therapist vs a bad one. As a parent, I communicated with my child’s therapist almost every month to see how things were going. They were good so I’ll give th...
