Stammering And Stuttering Therapy Options

Do you have a stammer or stutter? Are you searching for the latest therapy options for stammering and stuttering? If you have answered yes to both of these questions then this article may well be of interest to you. I will be writing about my experiences of speech therapy, I had a stutter for eighteen years, and about the most popular treatments that are currently available for people who have a stammer or stutter.

I attended the more traditional forms of speech therapy on a regular basis during the period that I had a stutter. To be truthful with you I was less than impressed with the advice that I was provided with and was often left frustrated at my lack of progress. The speech therapists seemed to have a lack of understanding of this type of speech impediment and at times looked at me as if I was crazy! For example I attempted to explain to one such speech therapist about the issues that I had when ordering drinks at a bar. The fear beforehand, hoping that there would not be a queue, pointing to the specific drink, the speech therapist looked at me as if I was living on a different planet!

All of this was happening around fifteen years and I am happy to report that the treatments for stammering and stuttering have improved a great deal since then. There are now specialist stuttering courses which are held on a one-to-one basis and which run by people who have previously had a stammer/stutter.

These courses have proven to be extremely beneficial to a large number of people and they have been featured in the national press and on the television.

There is normally a three-four month waiting period to attend the course due to its popularity however there are self-help products such as a DVD and e-book that people can watch and read whilst awaiting their course date to arrive.
