I am Stephen Hill from Birmingham in England. I started to stutter at the age of four or five. My parents took me to a lot of different types of speech therapy, some in groups, some on a one to one basis. The kind of advice I was given to control my stutter or to overcome my stutter were varied. 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 stutter. This term is labelled by the stutter speech therapist or the stutter speech pathologist. My parents were reassured that most people who stutter in childhood soon grow out of it. Well I was one of those who didn't.
I then joined the class called, childhood stutter. 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 stutter. I now decided that speech therapy was not really working for me.
I decided to try my own form of stutter self help. Even though I had a stutter, 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 my stutter and eradicate the stutter once and for all. As a career I now help other people to stop stuttering.
I offer various types of stuttering therapy, the most popular of which are one to one speech therapy courses which are held in Birmingham, England. I now offer three day courses aswell as the original five day courses. For people who would prefer a form of stuttering self help, I offer a seventy minute dvd which also comes with a written booklet called the course notes. These notes and the dvd have full descriptions of each of the techniques I teach on the speech course as well as the forms of practice to use to enable those techniques to become a natural part of the persons speech. I have had a very positive feedback from the people who have purchased this form of stuttering self help.
