What is the best therapy to stuttering?

working on my breathing has been a huge help for me in working with stuttering problems.\n\ni now breathe from the stomach, not the upper chest, making sure my breaths inflate and deflate my abdomen. this strengthens the diaphragm as well as the lungs.\n\ni also make sure to breathe often and speak slowly and carefully when i talk. this makes stuttering less likely and keeps me feeling focuses and calm should i begin to stutter.

Currently, anti-psychotic medication and behavioral modification treatment are the best options. 'Do-it-yourself' strategies rarely if ever work. Try www.crazymeds.com for more information on a peer to peer level, with links to mental health topics and terminology.

Practice your receptive skills by watching English t.v., I recommend CNN.  Watch actively in short bursts and listen to what is said and the way it is said.\nFor productive skills, in this case talking, find a native speaker if you can and converse with them.  Listen to how they communicate and try to replicate it.  If you already targeted your problem areas (making proper "l" sounds)= tongue curls up to roof of the mouth... find a book on phonetics and tongue positions and practice.\nGood luck.

I think the best thing is to seek professional treatment, don't be afraid of the doctor, they deal w/this on a regular basis, went to school for it, it is what they do. Just remember you have a voice, and that means you do not wish to take medication, they should help find you an alternative treatment. I do feel that you have issues that you need to talk out, when you do it will make a big difference.

Therapy will help enormously.  You have the will to control it which is a brilliant start.  Good luck!

Great timing on this question.   I just returned from the 2006 American Speech-language Hearing Association (ASHA) Convention and took a course called "Internet Gold for Speech- Language Pathologists".  I'll give you the link for her handout which had dozens of unusual sites specifically chosen by her for use in speech therapy.  These are sites chosen by one of the foremost technology experts in our field!  Some of it won't pertain to you, but page down to find some great resources.  Good luck.  Hope this is useful: http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/ASHA2006handout.html\nI was amazed with this.

This information is from the Stuttering Foundation of America:\n\nThere are four factors most likely to contribute to the development of stuttering: genetics ( approximately 60% of those who stutter have a family member who does also); child development (children with other speech and language problems or developmental delays are more likely to stutter); neurophysiology ( recent research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language in different areas of the brain than those who do not stutter); and family dynamics ( high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles can contribute to stuttering). \n\nStuttering may occur when a combination of factors comes together and may have different causes in different people. It is probable that what causes stuttering differs from what makes it continue or get worse.\n\nI have heard of people who never stuttered before starting stuttering after having a stroke.  Stuttering is not a type of seizure, but may be a result of one of your seizures.

You should consult a speech-language pathologist in your area. He/she can perform an evaluation to determine the type and severity of your stuttering. If you agree to treatment, there are many types of treatment. No one treatment is right for everyone. Check the ASHA website for more information.\n\nA proud SLP\nMay is Better Speech and Hearing Month

Speech therapy really is the best way to go.  I suppose that you have already tried to do something about it on your own without success.  Speech therapists have the best tools to diagnose and help you work on your concern.\n\nThe good news is that there are a couple of different ways that the "r" sound can be pronounced in English.  If one of them doesn't work for you, you could get away with one of the others.\n\nYou should be able to find diagrams (and maybe even movies) about how this sound is pronounced by searching on "English phonetics".  Just so you know, the symbol used to represent this sound usually looks like an upside-down r.

Yeah, stammering is definitely not professional, and will make people think you're unprepared even if you know you're ready. So, because its obviously caused by nerves, take a very deep breath. If you're still stuttering, pinch yourself lightly on the arm. This helps me because it focuses my attention on one thing and helps me feel more alert.

I've had this problem all my life, the best thing I have found that really helps is warm salt water. Put 1/2 teaspoon of salt in half cup of warm water and gargle about two to three time, 3 times a day.

Well, I'm not gonna tell you to "read this book", or tell you some quote that "changed my life".  From experience, think therapy might give you some answers you're looking for.  When everyday life seems to bogg you down, there are professionals that can give you some "tools" to use, when you just can't get out of your funk.  Therapy is very healthy and it gives you a different perspective on life or whatever ills you.  Hang in there.  And as the saying goes"You're not alone"

Replacement therapy.  Start an exercise program (join a gym or walk together daily).  Try the patch and nicotene gum, and hypnotism.  All of those together should do the trick!  Good luck!  :)

This is no joke. Hold your tongue on the roof of ur mouth for a few seconds. Its also good for brain freezes and hiccoughs. \n Try it , it really works.

There is no one proven cure for the hiccups. Different things may work at different times and for different people. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the following hiccup remedies may be effective:\n\nHolding your breath \nSlowly drinking a cold glass of water \nBreathing into a paper bag \nEating a spoonful of sugar \nHaving someone startle you \nGently massaging the back of the roof of your mouth with a cotton swab for a minute or so

There is no cure for stuttering,Hell they can not even figure out what causes it.\nBut I tell you what,if you stutter,this is what you do.Now you have to do exactly what i say for 2 weeks straight.\nRead SLOWLY out loud for 2 hours everyday.be sure to connect every word,read it like you are speaking "ROBOT".When I say 2 hours straight,i mean 2 hours straight,NO DRINK BREAKS,NOW BATH ROOM BREAKS,a full straght 2 hours of reading out loud.\nDo this every day for 2 weeks,you will see an 80% improvement in your stuttering.Although at the end of the 2 weeks,you must continue this treatment everyday,until yourbody,your mind tells you  that you do not need to do it anymore.Trust me.\nSo come back in 2 weeks and vote my answer as the BEST ANSWER. Because it truely is. GOOD LUCK.

No it doesn't. Stuttering is a condition that is already inherent in the brain as a learned speech impediment with roots in the brain's processing centers and people usually develop a stutter early in life. Marijuana could effect the stuttering of a person, make it worse or whatever, but it doesn't cause it.
