Alternative Treatment For Stuttering And Stammering

By helloarticles | March 6th, 2010

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 now should or could you turn to continue your attempts to stop stuttering?

Before I continue to answer these questions I will introduce myself. My name is Stephen Hill and I am a speech coach from the UK who specialises in helping people who have a stutter or stammer to attain fluency. 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 started to stutter when I was a four year old; there was no real trigger or reason as to why it had developed. I attended, via the local hospital, speech therapy. It was of use, possibly even of benefit, however it never really offered me the solutions to stammering/stuttering that I was looking for.

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.

I was particularly frustrated at one particular speech and language therapy session; it was with a therapist who I did not really get on with; he was rather aggressive and very impatient. He told me that there was not a cure for stammering/stuttering. I replied:

“Fair enough. So how are you of the speech and language profession as a whole getting on in finding 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 was eventually able to realise my dream of overcoming my stutter when I was aged 22 and as a career I now help other people to achieve fluency.

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 questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
