I am Stephen Hill from Birmingham in England. I started stammering in childhood at the age of four or five. I attended a lot of different types of speech therapy, some in groups, some on a one to one basis. I have had lots of stammering advice on how to stop stammering. These are some:
slowing down my breath costal breathing prolonged speech taking a deep breath before I spoke
I had began in the class called, preschool stammering. This term is labelled by the stammering speech therapist or the stammering speech pathologist. My parents were reassured that most people who stammer in childhood soon grow out of it. Well I was one of those who didn't.
I then joined the class called, childhood stammering. I continued to attend speech therapy and joining in with their speech therapy activities and their speech therapy games.
I then progressed to the class called, adult stammering. I now decided that speech therapy was not really working for me.
I decided to try my own form of stammering self help. Even though I had a stammer, at times I could talk very well. As an example when I was drunk, I spoke nearly perfectly fluent.
After nearly a year I managed to overcome stammering and eradicate the stammer once and for all. As a career I now help other people to stop stammering.
