Re: Stammering by Brigadier7(m): 6:28pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
Eminash:what type of stammering are you talking about! There are basically three types of stammering I.e the one. With Repetition of words and syllables like I...I...I am am am Bri...Bri..Bri..Bri. Ga..Ga...dieer.... Or the one with BLOCKs also called Speech block? !is Where words Would just refuse to come outThe last when there is Uneven prolonging of Speech like..My nammmmmmme issssssssss Brrrrrrrriiiiggaaaddier!! Am a Stutter too and have got the Speech Block type! Stammering/Stutter from all my researches basically has no CURE but SELF Therapy is the Key! Tell me your type of stuttering before I go further! |

Re: Stammering by Brigadier7(m): 8:06pm On Mar 04, 2016 |
Eminash:that's the type have got too!! I must also ask! Do you stutter when you r alone?? Most block type of stuttering is caused by anxiety! Most ppl with the block type of stutter don't get blocks wen talking alone in let's say in a close empty room!!?? 1 Like |
Re: Stammering by Eminash: 2:13pm On Mar 05, 2016 |
Brigadier7:No I don't stutter when alone. But it's not anxiety. I think they've begun to identity genes that predispose people to stutter, and even the differences between a stammerer's brain and a fluent one in the brain regions responsible for speech. Certainly not anxiety but there may be some fear of stammering which increases the likelihood one would stammer. I'm looking for any techniques someone has used to successfully control their stutter. |

Anxiety plays a role... U said' the fear that one will stutter " That is the anxiety he talked about. It worsens it... Be bold and confident and you will see that stuttering will be brought to the barest minimum |

Eminash:there are many techniques you can use! The truth is THEY ARE DiFFicult TO ADOPT AS ADULTs!! One of the ways is to talk AS SLOW AS POSSIBLe!! Its easier said than done! |

Like already said, one way to reduce stuttering is to talk a bit more slowly. I have tried it and it works (thats when I actually remember). Another way is to be as relaxed as possible and try to always be prepared ahead of speeches or discussions. All in all, dont think too much about it and with time it will reduce. Mine has drastically reduced. Some days, I don't even remember I used to stammer till I actually stammer. |
Re: Stammering by Eminash: 1:13pm On Mar 07, 2016 |
Loisemm:By you saying "don't think too much about it" I suppose you mean "don't have emotional attachment on the outcome, whether you stammered or not. Good. But some situations are too critical not to have that outcome in mind. Think of job interviews. Can you tell a cripple to "get up and walk" unless you are spiritually anointed? A strategy I have chosen is to shout out words by force. But this has social consequences as people would not understand and think you're going crazy |
Re: Stammering by Eminash: 2:07pm On Mar 07, 2016 |
Brigadier7:I would think that the slow talking approach technically called "easy onset technique" made famous by Dr Martin Swartz will be more suited for stammering types that are repetitive. That indicates the person is trying to force the words out. But for silent blocks I doubt this would be effective |
Re: Stammering by Brigadier7(m): 3:55pm On Mar 08, 2016 |
Eminash:You correct! Isn't too effective for Blocks!!am Still searching for effective techniques though! Do well to let me know wehn you come across any techniques for block! |
Re: Stammering by Eminash: 11:31am On Mar 17, 2016 |
Brigadier7:Well "the McGuire program" that holds in South Africa teaches stammerers to overcome blocks. It's pretty expensive. |

Brigadier7:They're establishing a stuttering treatment centre at the university of Ibadan in collaboration with a US varsity. They'll use drugs to treat stammering. |
Re: Stammering by Brigadier7(m): 8:09pm On Mar 27, 2016 |
Eminash:really?? When are they starting?? |
Re: Stammering by Eminash: 7:46am On Mar 28, 2016 |
Brigadier7:I don't know yet when they're starting, and will find out. 1 Like |

Brigadier7:Certainly. Speech is a very crucial part of human social life. So speech impediments impact negatively on quality of life. |

I have a Son who stammers a lot and in 100 level going to 200 level in a nigerian university in Ogun state. He is currently on vacation. I need a speech therapist for him to assist but did not know of any for now. I would be glad if any good one can be introduced so as to get him diagonised for proper treatment if any. |
Re: Stammering by Eminash: 5:24pm On Jun 06, 2016 |
florinodlan: There a number of international based interventions in stammering. I don't know of any in Nigeria, no doubt they exist and someone had given a number above. Soon the university of California will establish a stuttering treatment center at Ibadan university based on medical approach and drug treatments. The other one is the McGuire program that holds in South Africa. So check your options |
