Things have now moved on at a pace and there is no longer the need to accept stuttering as a way of life, treatment for stuttering has come a long way and there are now a number of different therapies available which can help to eradicate the speech impediment once and for all.

I am a person who grew up with a stutter. My parents took me to speech therapy and I have to say that I was less than impressed with their efforts to cure me. I could not understand this acceptance method, it is in my opinion very defeatist. I do not accept second best in any other area of my life therefore why should I accept it for my speech? If there is no known cure then surely somebody should be looking for one.


At the age of twenty-two, after deciding to give up on all things to do with traditional speech therapy, I began the search for my own cure for stuttering. It was a rocky road with many ups and downs, I did however have a superb support network to help me. This support was essential to keep me in a positive state of mind during those darkest days when I felt like giving up altogether. After around eleven months I was successful in overcoming the stutter and for the last eleven years I have been helping other people to achieve fluency.
