People who stutter have to cope up in their ways of socially interacting with others and at the same time, dealing with the various emotions that constantly run through their heads such as guilt, fear, shame, and frustration. Many people allow their stammering condition to indirectly or directly dictate what kind of life they will have, and how they will live it.

Thankfully, there are now effective therapies that can help one from controlling stuttering, and in some cases, completely stopping it.

A list of the four best therapeutic approaches are as follows:

1. Self-Therapy - this does not imply that you will be left alone to do your thing. Rather, these are stuttering self-therapies that consist of programs you can work with on your own. This is the most affordable and one effective way to handle your stuttering disability and is a good place for you to start.

2. Electronic Devices - although it is an effective way to handle stuttering at the start, self-therapy is not advised to be carried out by itself. You can add other therapeutic approaches, and one of that is the use of electronic devices to enhance the fluency of your speech. These methods are usually done with little effort on your part. These kinds of devices are usually based on either "delayed auditory feedback" (DAF) and "frequency shifting auditory feedback" (FAF).

3. Speech Language Pathologists - another therapeutic approach in dealing with your stuttering is through experts known as speech language pathologists or SLPs. However, it is best advised to know all the information possible on stuttering before you set an appointment with these individuals for one simple reason: this approach is very costly in terms of time and money. Remember to ensure that the person who will be dealing with you is well experienced with stuttering and has a holistic approach in treating it.

4. Speech Clinics - these ones are the most widely available and you can inquire in your local community if they have programs that address stuttering, and the various methods that they use. Keep in mind though one important thing - stuttering cannot be instantly cured overnight. This is especially true if you have had it for many years already. It can take up to several weeks or months for it to be either controlled and well-managed, or stopped.
