Alternative Treatments For Stammering And Stuttering
OK, so you have tried the more traditional forms of speech and language therapy in your quest to eradicate your stutter but despite your best efforts it has not helped you to achieve your goal of fluency. So what are the available options now? Where should or could you go to continue your efforts to stop stammering?
Well before I start to write about some potential answers to the above questions I should really introduce myself. I am Steve Hill, a speech coach from England. I am not a speech therapist and nor do I want to be one. I offer an alternative therapy for stuttering and one that works.
I developed a speech impediment, a stutter, when I was a young boy. I attended speech and language therapy via my local hospital. Even though it was of use it never offered me the opportunity to eradicate the stutter.
The majority of the speech and language therapists were nice enough people and certainly tried their best to help me; it was just that the training that they had been provided with was less than adequate.
There was one especially frustrating moment when I was speaking with a not so nice speech therapist. He told me that there was not a cure for stammering/stuttering. I replied:
“Fair enough. So what are you or the profession of speech and language therapy doing to find a cure?”
Speech therapist:
“Ermm, well nothing”
Me
“OK, that’s all very positive! NOT!”
For me the above example summed up my experience of speech therapy; I can only hope that the service has improved since my day!
I did, eventually, overcome the stammer when I was aged twenty-two.
As stated earlier I offer the alternative therapy for stammering and stuttering.
I have a website at http://www.stutter-cure.com which has information about the types of therapy that I offer.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
