Stammering is no joke: but it can be a strength

This is a short film I made about my experiences of life with a stammer. One per cent of us has a stammer but not everyone out there knows what a stammer is. This film is dedicated to all of those in my life who have beed patient and understanding over the years and to enlighten those who have not heard of stammering.

Hi, I am a stammerer. Are you a stammerer too? Have you done a speech therapy in the past but you could not overcome your speech problem? Have you every wondered why? One of the most important reason is lack of practise.

So i decided to practise it with other stammerers. i am looking for people with whom i can practise and ofcourse they can practise their technique with me. If you are interested then we can do it over skype or sth. other. Practise makes man perfect. pls contact me.

@110ajayk Cool, thanks for your message. It certainly makes alot of difference having people who stammer around you because you can empathise with each other. I am a member of the British Stammering Association. Are you on Face book?

I admire you .

There are many techniques that stammerers can be taught to use which enable you to control or make easier the blocks that are the cause of problems.

Its a fact that the general public wrongly seem to think that people who stammer are also in some way mentally deficient.

The deficiently lies in those who think stammering is funny and should be made fun of.

Sadly , i dont think the publics perception of the problem will ever change.

The Maguire programme is the best solution for people who stammer. several of my family members have been on it and are totally different people from coming off it. Its not a cure but it will let you communicate what you really want to say.
