This hit me very hard. I stutter, and about a year ago now I attended a rigorous speech therapy program which truly did eliminate my stutter entirely for a solid six months. What I didn't realize was, the stutter was just the beginning of my issues, and 20 years of not talking to people doesn't just go away because you learned some fluency techniques. If given the choice between fluency and general confidence and social skills, I would choose the latter 100% of the time. I absolutely love the idea of this program, it it what I have been trying to do for the past year with little success. I believe starting this from a young age would be monumental for these children.

So powerful! So positive! So insightful! So refreshing! This program brings out the best in humanity. It's not just a model for stuttering but a model for how we should embrace each other's uniqueness.

This video really provided me with a great wealth of knowledge about stuttering and how to best be an encourager to a person who stutters.

看完了整个视频，很遗憾的说，研究的方向错误，所有的付出都白费。2019年的时候，中国那边已经研究出了正确解决口吃的方案，只需要3天的训练时间，就可以让口吃恢复正常说话，后续的说话稳定、巩固只需要花费总共几个小时时间就可以做到。有条件可以去中国的网络查看发布的案例档案，包括最初的说话口吃样本，训练的过程记录， 几个月后和几年后的说话变化。
