“ USEFUL TIPS FOR STUTTERING TREATMENT “

TIPS (NO. 1) FOR STUTTERING TREATMENT

1. .First, one must realize there is no quick or magical cure for
stuttering—but a great deal of help and a chance to overcome the fears and bad
habits which hold the stutterer prisoner in the shape of stuttering therapies.
2. You must learn to accept your stuttering—you can’t stop it. The
harder you try, the worse it gets. Try to accept the fact that you will stutter
and learn to cope with it—realize it is not just something that happens to you,
it is something that you do. This gives you power and allows you to change it.
3. Stop trying to hide it from others and especially from yourself. Be
willing to talk about it. Get over the shame and embarrassment you feel, and
the stuttering will lessen. Accept some stuttering—everyone does some. Nobody
is perfect—your urge to be perfect must be conquered—it only makes you worse.
4. Don’t try to be fluent—that is a false role for you—accept your role
as a stutterer and be a good one—stuttering forward, smoothly, saying what you
want to say, not changing words or starting over and over.
5. See if you can enter situations you have avoided in the past.
Avoidance is your worst enemy—do you avoid certain words, people, situations,
etc.? Take them on, one at a time.
6. Fluency is not a success—meeting a challenge is. Saying a badly
stuttered word is a success. Not giving up is important. Facing your problem
is the only way to reach success as a speaker.
7. Keep good eye contact with your listener even when, and especially
when you stutter—another success along your road to recovery.
8. Observe other people as they talk—even “normal” speakers bobble,
hesitate, and “stutter”—give yourself an assignment to count the “stutters” of a
normal speaker at home or on TV. You’ll be surprised how imperfect the speech
can be—and is never noticed!
9. Instead of avoiding stuttering, try to stutter voluntarily. This is
not something to do early in therapy and it can become a trick to sound
better—and anything you do just to “sound better” at a given moment is probably
not a good solution. Aim to improve your whole approach—feel proud of yourself
when you talk and do not retreat even though you stutter. Overcome your shame
about stuttering and overcome your need for fluency.
10..Pay enough attention to the things you do that interfere with your normal
speech, the things that you do that you call your stuttering, to understand that
they are unnecessary and to change or eliminate them.
11. By deciding not to fight for fluency, U will gain more fluency than u
ever
had before. Accepting stuttering would be big step in loosening its grip on
your
life. Once u will stop trying to hide your stuttering and, instead, begin to
advertise that you are a stutterer, you will gain a new freedom from fear.
Life will get easier.
12. Instead of fighting the twisting, tumbling, torrent of stuttering, try to
go with the flow. Try let the occasional stutter proclaim its existence, and
then carry on as if nothing has happened. Try to intentionally forget the moment
of stuttering rather than focusing on any misspoken word. Try to take Care to
remind yourself that you are a stutterer so that this knowledge will set you
free from stuttering


TIPS (NO. 2) FOR STUTTERING TREATMENT
Two amazing secrets to help stop stuttering, from Sound Feelings. This
stuttering information provides easy how-to solutions for stutterers for
self-improvement towards fluent speech. These will be extremely helpful for
those seeking stuttering cures.
“My stuttering is all cleared up now, and I have no more problem! What I did
was take one of your tips to stop stuttering (tip #2). In one week I got so much
better that I could talk well on the phone. I say the word once in my head, then
not even a second later, say it verbally. I’m glad I fixed it because I’m only
14 and I’d be stuttering for a lot longer. From this I met two girls already.
Thanks!.”…………… An ex-stutterer user of the tips.
A) Think Before You Speak.
Don’t even open your mouth until you are exactly sure about the word or words
you are about to say. People who stutter often are smarter than average. This
ironically works against the stutterer because when he or she attempts to speak,
his or her mind tends to think too far ahead! This causes the conscious mind to
not be in line with the current immediate word being expressed. The result is a
jam or a block in the flow of speech. It really is not enough to “slow down the
rhythm of your speech,” as is so often recommended. This can be slightly
helpful, but what really counts is to think before you verbalize each word. It
may be temporarily helpful to slow down just in order to retrain yourself how to
think ahead of each word spoken rather than after, but eventually, the speed of
the speech can return to normal.
B) Say it in Your Mind.
Literally hear yourself successfully saying the word you want to say in your
mind before you say it. This is a type of aural visualization. All people who
succeed in anything admit that they practice visualizing their success, with
optimism, before actually attaining their goal. Imagine the sound of each word,
one by one, in your mind before you physically say it.


TIPS ( N0.3) FOR STUTTERING TREATMENT / CONTROL Always try to... 1. Speak
more slowly and in a deliberate manner. Draw out the vowels, and do not skip
over syllables. It won't sound as slow as you think!
2. Slide into the words with light and loose movements of the lips and jaw.
Feel the words as you say them.
3. Eliminate all avoidance or word substitution, habits which you may use to
postpone or eliminate stuttering. Feared words only become a larger problem when
you attempt to run away from them.
4. Keep moving forward in your speech. Repeating words you have already said
only postpones the attempt to say the next word that you fear.
5. Monitor and identify what you are doing unnecessarily when you stutter. The
more you can self-analyze your stuttering, the more aware you become of how to
modify the muscle coordination needed to produce more fluent speech. Stuttering
does not "just happen".
6. Try to focus on how to resume fluency.
7. Prevent anxiety or tension from overwhelming your fluent speech.
Stuttering is nothing to be ashamed about, and you certainly don't do it on
purpose. Instead of always being embarrassed by a block, analyze what you did,
try to say the word again fluently, and then move on. Don't dwell upon your
failures; celebrate those moments when you succeed in speaking more fluently.
8.leave fear of stuttering.
9. Slow down your speech, not to the point where it sounds abnormal, but just
slow down.
10. Speak in phrases, with a pause in between. In other words, do not try to
say complete sentences (at least at first), and also do not focus on saying
individual words. Instead, break up a sentence into phrases and say the entire
phrase.
11. The transition between sounds in each phrase is very important. Keep the
air flowing and voice active as you are going from one word to the next in the
phrase. Do not stop the voice between each word. Instead, let the end of one
word lead right into the start of the next word, keeping your voice flowing in
the transition. This is the key I think that helped me the most. It is hard to
see it unless it is pointed out to you. This technique eliminates stuttering on
any of the inner words of a phrase, although the first word may still be
difficult.

TIPS ( N0.4) FOR STUTTERING TREATMENT / CONTROL
( U MUST KEEP IN MIND FOLLWING AIMS WHILE SPEAKING):

KEEP: -

TIPS (NO.6) FOR STUTTERING TREATMENT / CONTROL :

1. First and foremost, you must be willing to change your attitude towards
your stammer. You need to be open about the fact that you stammer. Do it
without shame or embarrassment.
2. Make a habit of always talking slowly and deliberately whether you stammer
or not. Remove yourself from any time pressure. When you start to talk, do it
gently. Make a point of deliberately prolonging the first sound of any word you
fear.
3. Observe and learn about your own stammer, possibly by watching yourself in
a mirror while you are on the telephone. Do some of your face muscles tense up
as you are about to stammer? Do you try to speak too quickly?
4. Post-Block Correction (or cancellation)
Follow this sequence of steps when you block or suffer a bad stammer on a
word:
4.1 Complete the word without quitting or using any tricks to avoid.
4.2 Have the determination to stop after the word.
4.3 Relax.
4.4 Think about what caused you to stammer on that word.
4.5 Think about how you could have approached the word in a better way (e.g.
less hurried, prolonging the first sound, softening a hard consonant etc.)
4.6 Mentally rehearse how you will say it next time.
4.7 Repeat the word you just stammered on.
4.8 This time do it in a smooth prolonged manner so that you can feel yourself
making the corrections.
5. In-Block Correction
This is a variation of the above. When you are in the middle of a block, do
not stop, rather slow down and let the block run its course. Deliberately make
a prolongation of what you are saying. This should give you some feeling of
control over your block. Depending on your particular type od stammering, you
will be slowing down any repetition , or changing repetition to smooth
prolongation, or pulling out of a fixation as you ease your way out of the
block.
6. Pre-Block Correction
Having mastered the above two techniques, the final goal is now to make
preparations to forestall your stammering before it happens.
7. Pause before your feared word. The brief pause will convince both you and
your listener that you are determined to be in control of the situation.

Follow the sequence of actions from the Post-Block correction when repeating
the difficult word, only this time you are saying it for the first time.

TIPS (NO.7) FOR STUTTERING TREATMENT :-

1. Self-confidence is key to fluency, without self-confidence there is no way
you can stop stammering.
To gain Self- Confidence:- Talk a lot with friends and people. Encourage
yourself to speak when put in a new situation with someone new, be friendly with
him / her, shake their hand, get to know them well, and then start speaking with
them.
2..Work in a "hierarchical" way if possible. ie. Gain confidence by
practicing speaking a lot in situations, which you find least stressful so that
you gain confidence. Then try and avoid things like unnecessary repetitions,
substituting words etc in more difficult situations.
3. "Fake stammering". This involves deliberately stammering in a relaxed way
on non-feared words. It helps in making a stutterer less bothered about people.
It concentrates on what to say rather than the stammer.
4. Speaking Circles. Involves a small group of people taking turns to talk on
a subject for say two minutes at a time, then other members of the group provide
positive feedback afterwards.
