Hello...I have several students that I have been working with who have had speech therapy for a number of years prior to working with me. (I'm at a middle and high school.) At what point does stuttering became something that they will live with for the rest of their lives? Can stuttering be totally "fixed" even after a person has stuttered since being a toddler? Also, what is the impact of also having a family member who stutters? Maybe it's me, but I have never totally "fixed" an adolescent who stutters. Do I not have the correct tools? Is this something they will have to deal with for the rest of their lives and that is the reason for providing them with strategies?
