Information About Speech Therapy Courses
My name is Stephen Hill. I am thirty-two years of age and live
in Birmingham, England. From the age of four I unfortunately had
a speech impediment known as stuttering. This impediment
basically ruined my life for eighteen years before I finally
managed to overcome the stutter. This article is all about
stuttering or as some people call it stammering.
Stammering or stuttering can have a dramatic effect on somebodys
confidence and it certainly seemed to my crush mine. It made me
accept second best in life and stopped me living my life as I
wanted to.
It is extremely difficult for a fluent person to comprehend how
hard it is to live your life with a speech impediment or stutter.
I now run one to one speech courses which are held in
Birmingham. A couple of years ago one of my clients told me
about a situation he had been involved in. He and his friends
went to a bar one Saturday afternoon to have a few drinks. After
a couple of pints he went up to the bar to order himself a
drink. Unfortunately he could not speak all of the words
fluently and the barman accused him of being drunk and refused
to serve him. He tried to explain that he was not drunk but had
a stutter, however the barman relpied, that's what they all say.
He returned to his friends who asked him where his drink was. He
told them what had happened, this itself was very embarressing.
This is a typical situation people who have a stutter or stammer
find themselves in.
