OK so you have finally realised that the traditional forms of speech and language therapy are unable to provide you with the solutions to your stuttering problems. So what is next? Well there are various options open to you.......
The most popular are the one-to-one stuttering therapy courses. It has to be stated however that there is an average waiting time of four months to actually attend this form of speech course - which is due to the popularity of them!
The majority of people do not want to wait such a length of time and are eager to commence some form of stuttering treatment straight away. Other people do not want to attend a course as they would rather attempt to gain fluency via a self-help product.
So what types of self-help treatments are available to people who have a stutter?
Well fortunately there are quite a few:
1. There is a seventy minute DVD which includes visual descriptions of the techniques required to stop stuttering. This film has only one character and that is a person who has managed to successfully overcome his own speech impediment. He spends the seventy minutes of the film explaining at great detail just what it takes to achieve fluency.
2. The audio book. This is the same as the DVD but in an audio book format.
3. The e-book or course notes in paper format. This is a written version of what is contained within the DVD - however it has to be said that there is a lot more included within the DVD.
As you can see there are a number of options available therefore do not be too downhearted that the speech and language therapist was unable to provide you with the answers that you were looking for.
Steve Hill has overcome a stuttering speech impediment. He now helps other people to achieve fluency via a stuttering therapy DVD and a stuttering therapy e-book.
