Why easy stuttering isn’t the answer for all who stutter? EP

Today I went into Panera and ordered a sandwich. I love having my sandwich with a fork and knife. The sandwich took me back to when I was younger. I ate my sandwiches without a knife or a fork because I could not ask for them. Ordering the sandwich was a whole load of trouble for me because  I couldn’t say it. I would write it on a piece of paper and end up eating without a fork and knife. Fear and shame became my portion due to my disorder.

If you are a parent with a child who stutters, I sincerely wish that you can find a speech pathologist specializing in stuttering. I know most insurance companies do not cover this, and you will find that most speech pathologists do not get renumerated which Isn’t fair.

Have you met speech experts who believe stuttering is a lost case and cannot get better? I beg to differ. With the right program, stuttering can be eliminated or reduced. The earlier you take your child to a speech pathologist, the easier it is for them to improve their speech.

This episode investigates why easy stuttering isn’t the answer for all who stutter. Listen and learn.
