Slow down your speech and become more deliberate in what you say. Eventually you'll conquer the stutter and can get to a regular pattern again. It just takes a little time that's all.

Complicated question. Stuttering really deserves professional evaluation by a physician and a speech therapist.
Things that make a difference include:
1. Age of the stutterer - is this a 2 year-old child just learning words, or a 15 year-old trying to ace an English class?
2. Type of stuttering - does a person freeze up on only certain words or syllables? Is it present only under stress?
3. Severity of stuttering - is it just one or two beats, or does it totally paralyze a person?
4. Any hearing, mental or emotional problems?
Here's a good starting point, which includes some general recommendations, resources for teachers, etc.:

first of all I've always found stuttering to be cute, i know it can be annoying for the person who has it, but most of the people around you probably pay it no mind. there are things you can do at home..reading out load..slowly sounding out each work..try creative writing also, to help slow down your thoughts and get them straight before you speak..reading, the more you read the more your mind adapts itself also giving you better speech, try talking in front of a mirror, focus on yourself and what your saying..and if nothing you can do for yourself seems to work, seek out a speech therapist..within a year they can have your stutter nearly gone.

The Stuttering Foundation of America has valuable information and resources on their website. Public libraries carry their books and DVDs. They can refer you to a Speech Language Pathologist for help, if you need it.

Actually, reading poetry out load worked for me. I paced around my room for 2 weeks reading Henry David Thoreau out loud, and it definitley helped with my stuttering. It's not gone, but I feel as though it's under better control. Good luck.
