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 your options now? Where should or could you go to continue your efforts to stop stammering?

Before I continue to answer these questions I will introduce myself. I am Steve Hill, a speech coach from England. I am not a speech and language therapist and I do not 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 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.
