Please note: our library contains a variety of views about stammering. As some are historical, they may contain outdated language and attitudes. Some may claim to be able to 'stop' or 'cure' a stammer. As with all stammering approaches, what works for one person may not work for another so keep that in mind and don't be disappointed in yourself if it doesn't work for you. See our Guide to Therapy Options page for the latest approaches.
