how can someone stop stuttering?

Question

the person has trouble speaking fluently and constient repeats words as he talks

Answer 1

I was a bad stutterer when I was young. A teacher at my school took a special interest in me because I could write well, and she put me in a speech class. I practiced saying tongue twisters, and reading text aloud a lot. It helped me a lot. By the time I was in the 6th grade, I didn't stutter at all.

I was told that most people stutter because their minds work faster than their mouth. :) A speech therapist could probably help, but reading aloud was the best exercise for me.

Good luck to you!

Answer 2

First, there are excellent speech therapists who can help retrain a person's speech patterns to almost entirely eliminate stuttering.
If the stutterer is still in school, the school will usually pay for the therapy.

If it's an adult stutterer, again a speech therapist can help. However, there are ways a person can repattern his/her own speaking.
*Write out pre-planned answers and memorize them.
*Slowly read out loud as he/she is typing.
*Slowly read stories or articles from the newspaper out loud.
*Pretend to give speeches. The stutterers I know do not stutter when they're in "speech mode", but often do when they're speaking "off the cuff".
*Remember to keep emotions under control. Stuttering can worsen when you get angry or passionate.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Stuttering is known as a neurological and nervous disorder. But it is one that can be managed with practice and lessons.People have a tendency to stutter more when put on the spot or in front of a class or crowd.

It has been found that stutterers that practice in front of strangers (in group) will diminish as their level of familiarity with the group increases and as time goes by.

Practice makes perfect!

Answer 5

stuttering is hard to work with. some people find it easier to talk if they 'sing' what they are saying...
not song-like, but a simple monotone. singing uses a different part of the brain than simply talking. it helps some, and doesn't others; depends on who you are, i guess.
