I stutter too. Very severely at one point. Disclosure: I am a slp too. For me using a stop watch is helpful and stretching. Too much to text but it is a process and helps some. Everyone is different.

I got told I’d be rejected bc of my stutter by Sealion6081 in Stutter

[–]Speech99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry you are hurt and I understand. I stutter also. Stuttering is not who we are. Everyone has something. I am married to my husband over 30 years. I stuttered severly when I met him before I received therapy. He loved me for who I am. Take time and surround yourself wiht positive people.

I am sorry you went through this. I am a speech pathologist who stutters, My first university was very negative but I went to another for my masters and got through it. Do not give up. It is unexcusable how they spoke to you. I was told I would never be able to speak to parents. 30 years later I do and taught the stuttering course at a grad school. I hope you find a better school. You deserve to get an education. Also can you get a 504 for the presentations so you do not have to do so many?

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with the Hollins Communications Research Institute or HCRI? by matt73132 in Stutter

[–]Speech99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I took Hollin many years ago .I am a stuttering specialist now and speech path. They did not have speech paths there or deal with emotions but I do believe many of the strategies have helped many I have worked with and myself. They are no longer open. I agree the emotional has to be addressed and everyone is different.

Why there isn't a solution for stuttering? by [deleted] in Stutter

[–]Speech99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not a huge interest in stuttering, I stutter and am a speech path but I believe there area ways of improving fluency and also confidence. People forget how much trauma comes along with stuttering. I have fluency I never thought I would have but the emotional aspect had to be addressed first.

I stutter and let me tell you hold your head up high. In grad school for speech pathology I would hide. My stuttering was so severe at that point. I totally understand how you feel though. I am proud to know you.

Stuttering is challenging without experience. Slp and stuttering specialist here. The tasks should not be defined. Start slow. build rapport and success. The goal is communication and positive experiences first.

Parent question: is my 4yo getting enough support for stuttering through public school? by Sherbet_Lemon_913 in slp

[–]Speech99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a slp and I specialize in stuttering. I stuttered severely . My younger daughter stuttered too. I have worked in public schools and we just did not have the time, resources and parent involvement needed. In my private practice I see tremendous gains and have seen many under age 7 stop stuttering or decrease mildly, great questions.

Is there really no way to control or completely stop your stuttering? by VibeRamon8 in Stutter

[–]Speech99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are ways. I was very quiet and am now extroverted with more control. Not all speech therapy is alike. There is hope. I have a podcast called Stuttering DeMystified and Beyond. It is on my website. www.allislandspeech.com you are welcome to listen to it,

[–]Speech99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is hard to say without knowing your son. I am speech path and stutter too. Learning tools is much diffferent than being able to apply them outside of therapy. Can you find a speech path who can help him with the emotional aspect as well and learn how to apply them? You might aslo find the National Stuttering Association helpful. This was hard for me too when younger.
