Techniques To Help Cure Stuttering

Are you searching for tips and advice to help cure stuttering? If you have answered yes to this question then you are not alone. In this article I will be writing about my own search for stuttering cure.

I started to stutter when I was just four years of age. My parents had hoped that they could quickly nip the problem in the bud by taking me to see a local speech therapist. All in all I attended different forms of speech therapy classes for the next fourteen years – my parent's hopes of a quick resolution unfortunately did not materialise. In fact by the age of eighteen the stutter had become even more severe.

I was now disillusioned by this form of therapy, wouldn't you be? I then looked into alternative treatments for stuttering.

I attempted many types of stuttering therapy, all with an open mind and positive attitude. I was confident that the answers were out there, I just had to find them.

There was absolutely no way that I was ever going to accept the stutter – this was something that the speech therapists had advised.

In the end there was only one thing for it – I was going to have to find and formulate my own cure for stuttering.

The stutter did erode my overall confidence however I did have an inner confidence; basically the world had never had the chance to get to know the real Steve Hill.

I worked very hard to learn how to eradicate the stutter at the age of twenty two and I had great support from my family and friends. I have to say that it was slow progress however I did eventually manage to achieve fluency.

I am now thirty four and I am happy to report that life is now better than ever, free from the trauma of stuttering.

Steve Hill is a speech coach from the UK; he has a number of websites including:
