Stammer/Stutter?

Question

Anyone had any cure for person who had stutter/stammer?

Answer 1

Several of my uncles and cousins stuttered. They all were able to overcome it with the help of The Stuttering Foundation's book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" and with lots of determination and practice following the 12 steps in the book. One uncle went to a speech therapist as well as used the book on his own. He found the therapist through the Foundation and the one that was recommended to him used to also stutter. There is no cure but you can learn techniques to help you become more fluent. Go to the web site and check out some of the online streaming videos, too.

Answer 2

Hi Sukhpreet - I also have a stammer by the way. Firstly, when it comes to employment law and diversity in the workplace - if the stammer affects you daily in any capacity which differs from the 'normal person' then the employer has the responsibility to make 'reasonable adjustments' as long as you make your employer aware of your disability - and yes a stammer is classified as a disability. Such adjustments must be made in every stage of employment - from recruitment, pay/ bonuses, discipline, retirement - everything (for example; when I went for a job that needed me to do a presentation - I got 15 minutes, rather than the 10 minutes everyone else got). On another note - I urge you to do a bit of research on 'The McGuire Programme'. It is a worldwide, certified speech therapy programme, which is taught by other 'recovering stammerers' (so understand the whole process needed in your recovering unlike just speech therapists) and basically teaches you a whole new way of speaking which can allow you to gain control over your stammer and really produced some great, confident speakers - even better than 'fluent speakers'. Good luck. James.

I used to stutter when i was a little kid. In fact, i still stutter at times.

The bad news is, there is no cure.

But you can always practice to improve your speech. Most of my friends don't even know that I stutter, except my childhood friends.

You can try taking a deep breath before you speak, and speaking in rythm (as if you're singing) helps too. The brain parts which handle speech and singing are completely different.

Stuttering can be caused by some problem involving your nerves, but I found out that your emotion/confidence has a big impact on your fluency as well. I speak better when I'm confident, so you should try to boost your self esteem by thinking on the positive and not try to think of what others think too much.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Well carry a rubberband on your wrist and everytime you catch yourself stuttering then pop the band and soon you'll associate pain with stuttering or just tell your friends to tell you to stop.

Answer 5

well there are special teachers/doctors that can help you when you formulate your thoughts and things of that sort. but I think the most important thing is to think anout what you're ging to say. or pretend like someone else is saying it. and focus on the way that their mouth forms and their facial features and it will get our mind of the stuttering and hopefully if my theory is correct... you should stuuter as much. but picture the person in your mind saying the thing you are...

Answer 6

I've heard that you don't stutter when you sing. Don't know if that helps or not.
