For the Speech therapy, I would suggest you contact the Jewish Stuttering Association. They can probably point you in the right directions. http://www.Jstutter.org
chaimmmMemberWere are all the stutterers and speech therapists? supposidly 1 in 100 adults stutter. There must be a lot of stutterers in the frum community.
chaimmmMemberarc – The therapists that usually work for agencies..are for school age children…. Not adults. If an adult wants to go to therapy, chances are it will be private.
chaimmmMemberemoticon613 – By sliding scale, I mean some therapists charge you based on what you can afford.

There are speech therapists who work on a sliding scale.
chaimmmMemberlesschumras-“As a child I had a terrible stutter. It was a result of my mind going at 90 miles per hour and my mouth could only go at 55 mph. In my mouth’s futile attemots to catch up, the words would collide and produce the stutter.”
Isn’t that called Cluttering? There is a difference between stuttering and cluttering. Can any Speech therapist on here confirm?
chaimmmMemberAre there any other stutterers, or former stutterers on here? I read somewhere that 1 in 100 adults stutter, the same is probably true in the Jewish community, no?
chaimmmMembereffieephraim- the website for the Jewish Stuttering Association is http://www.Jstutter.org
I can only try – maybe have your relative who is a speech pathologist contact the Jewish stuttering asssociation, looks like they are starting up an amazing organization. I myself am eager to see what they have planned for those of us who stutter and our families
I also stutter in all the languages I speak, english, yiddish, hebrew, etc.
chaimmmMembermyfriend, for a non-stutterer..it doesnt affect there speech. It may not be polite, but each to there own.
For a stutterer, if you finish there sentence..it’s very degrading. If your looking at something else while there talking to you, in their mind there thinking…I gotta finish what im saying…he’s getting bored, he’s very uncomfortable around me because im stuttering, etc.
chaimmmMembermyfriend, Yes talk to a stutterer as you would talk to a non-stutterer. Just with a little more patience, don’t finish there words, maintain eye contact.
chaimmmMemberModerator, your not alone. Many people don’t know anything about stuttering, yet how to react when they come across a stutterer.
There are many teens and adults, like myself who stutter… With small children, b”h many of them overcome stuttering on there own. By the parents not making a big deal of it, and just having the patience to listen till the child is finished talking, and DON’T finish there sentences.
I recently heard of a organization that is starting out, for stutterers and their families.
chaimmmMemberModerator, it’s not some sort of a joke. I stutter.
s-h mom, there is help out there for children. Try Yeled V’yalda, Omni, and there are a few others.
BP Totty, many in the community stutter. No 2 stutterers are alike. Many stutterers have no problem singing as well.
