Go to the Stuttering Foundation of America web site and check out the world of information there. The section "brochures for all ages" is helpful. They have a book "Self Therpy for the Stutterer" that is the absolute best for adults who can and will spend the time to help themselves. They also give referrals to specialists for those who can't stick with the program themselves. They have helped several uncles and cousins of mine.

Yep, get that book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" from the Stuttering Foundation of America. Another one of their books that is good is "A Stutterer's Story." Best of luck.

YES!!! Speech therapy at any age can be helpful. My ex husband began to stutter at age 7, when his father died. He made more progress in his therapy after we married than he had in years, but he still has to use what is called helping words...words that he doesn't get caught on that he can substitute for the word that trips him. For instance, Jerry could never say "hello" when he answered the phone. It just wouldn't come out, and he'd just sit there, phone in hand, unable to say ANYTHING. So he says "Yes, hello?" now, and all is OK. He can answer the phone, speak with nearly anyone, and no stuttering. He could not introduce me as Elaine... Elaine just wouldn't fall out of his mouth easily. But he could say "this is my wife.." and let me fill in the blanks. So there are ways to deal, and there is a light at the end of a tunnel with therapy. Good luck!

My father stuttered and he was a brilliant man.He was a poet and a airplane pilot. Yet people thought he was retarded and he used to have to write notes all through his teens and twentys later on he had speech lessons and they helped immensely but he never got where it totally went away.Surround your self with good people and research the sites those others have offered remember stutterers are often genuises.Mel Tillis stutters,Lots of people stutter.Its ok.

Look for a Hearing & Speech Center where you live. If you can't find one, then you could look into a speech & diction class at a local college.
You could also look into a public speaking class to help you get over your fear of speaking on front of people.
I have a friend who stutters, but we've noticed he stutters more when he's nervous, & less when he's relaxed.

gentle stuttering is generally no longer a reason to have an iep. it incredibly is seen scientific and the infant could obtain outpatient speech treatment. If the infant had cerebral palsy and stuttering that should be a different questions.

I used to stutter and my parents got me a book that helped. It had a lot of sentences like "Brian's big brown bowling ball bounced backward to Betty's bag". Things like that and it really did help.

calm down, take a deep breath, and relax. It'll get better if you're not nervous. Speech pathologists are a great help.
