Speech Therapy Stammer

Armando Said:

Is it normal for a three year old to stammer on her words as she tried to speak?

We Answered:

Your best source of information is at www.stutteringhelp.org where you will find things that parents can do at home to help a child who has started stuttering/stammering. They have a chart to determine if/when a child needs speech therapy plus referrals to specialists all over the world. Another good source is http://stammeringcentre.org/

Carl Said:

Got promoted to manager but I stammer when I talk and it is embarrasing!?

We Answered:

Get the books "Advice to those who stutter" and "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" from The Stuttering Foundation of America in their estore at www.stutteringhelp.org. Those books, especially the Self Therapy one, were the ones that helped my family...it is one to study and work through the steps rather than just to casually read. You can become more fluent.

Clifford Said:

Why does Obama stammer so much when he's not reading from a script? Does he need speech therapy?

We Answered:

he needs a teleprompter. He's an empty suit that speaks well, with a script. No script and he puts his foot in his mouth

Barry will be toast at the debates.

Bill Said:

Does speech therapy work?

We Answered:

If you are willing to work with the therapist's guidance and follow all instructions, yes, it does work. It is, however, up to you, as no therapist has a "magic wand" (even though we sometimes wish we had one).
If you only stammer "a little", you may be within normal limits. Everyone is dysfluent once in a while.
Go to "stutteringhelp.org" for more information about how you can help yourself.
