Alternative Treatment For Stuttering And Stammering

OK, so despite your best efforts, via attending speech therapy, you have not been able to achieve 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 speech and language therapy via my local hospital. Even though it was of use it never offered me the opportunity to eradicate the stutter.

Despite most of the speech therapists being very nice people it was if they had not received the adequate level of training.

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 stated that there was not a known cure for 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 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.

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

Well before I start to write about some potential answers to the above questions I should really 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. 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 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!”
