Disfluent Speech and Tongue Thrust

[Gkj _ Speech]

Hello everyone,

Do any of you know stuttering SLPs? Or SLPs with tongue thrusts?

I'm someone who stutters (mainly blocks and prolongations) about 5-10% of the time. I also have a tongue thrust that affects my /s/ sounds. Some people I've known for years comment that they haven't noticed it. The head of my local grad school told me it wouldn't be a problem as long as I am able to demonstrate correct technique in therapy. While this may be true, it would still be nice to hear about other disfluent students or practicing SLPs.

I had a grad prof who stuttered. And I met one at an open house for another school. Being able to demonstrate techniques is important so you’re fine if you can do that for your clients/students

Thank you for replying, @jpiccolo! That's awesome (and honestly, comforting) to hear.
