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.
