My First Conversation with Manimaran Sir

Hi!! My dear Friends..

My First Conversation with Manimaran Sir, I have received some of the facts of Stammering. He said to me that Most of the pws knows that stammering is also a neurological related problem and cannot be cured 100%. 

Having knowing the fact very well that stammering could not be cured 100%, what benefit a pws would get when we always telling  to them again & again that stammering could not be cured 100%. This negative thinking de motivating them only from practicing continuously.Another point is if a severe pws overcomes 90%, a moderate pws overcomes 95% and a mild pws overcomes 99% of his stammering, I feel this itself was great achievement for them.

 Some improvement is better than no improvement. He also said that accept your stammering,learn to speak comfortable stammering, then  you would be peace with yourself. The real fact is, if that particular pws successfully overcome 80% of its stammering, that itself is a great achievement & blessing for him.

Now let's discuss about the term"Accept your stammering and be peace with yourself ". To my opinion, this term is not a general team which can be applied to all pws.  This is only a relative one.

For example if a pws 'X', is in a good job and fairy settled in life, then the above term may apply to him.  If a pws 'Y'  borrowed educational loan from bank & still jobless , the above term won't apply to 'Y'. He needs some kind of fluency also to attend interviews & get a decent job, for which he needs to do some speech practice.

At the same time, We should not complicate our stammering also .


1st accept our stammering, get rid of our fear & shame and remove our emotional baggage.

2nd, since because of our stammered speech over the years, we made our speech mechanism into a faulty one. To bring back the speech mechanism into a correct speaking condition, some kind of physical speech practice / exercises is needed for the speech mechanism.  Speech therapy is one way of correcting it.
