And Stammering Speech Impediment |

Stammering
or as it is sometimes known as stuttering is a form of
speech impediment.
My name is Stephen Hill and I had a stammer for
eighteen years. I went to various types of speech
therapy which even though was of some use, never
really offered me any hope of a "cure".
At the age of twenty two, after a lot of hard work I
managed to overcome the stammer and I now help other
people to achieve fluency.
These are the types of situation that I found that I
was most likely to stammer:
Ordering food and drink at a bar
Phone calls
Introducing people
Meeting new people
Talking when under pressure
Talking when tired or stressed
On my first day at senior school, all of the first
year pupils were shown to their form room, including
myself. The teacher, who was to be our form teacher,
introduced himself and welcomed us to the school.
He then said
"OK class, I have introduced myself. I don't know
any of you in here and most of you won't know each
other. So what I would like you first of all to do, is
to stand up and tell me your name and which junior
school you used to attend."
He asked somebody on the front row to start, but
because I was hiding at the back of the room, I would
end up being one of the last people to speak. This was
not a good thing as it meant I had a lot of time to
worry about it. When my time arrived to speak, I could
not even get one word out, it was most humiliating.
This is one of many bad days I had during the time
when stammering was ruining my life.
