"I would have liked my teachers to have recognised my struggle and had a one-on-one conversation with me about how I felt and what could be done to make the situations easier."
BeneTalk user, Luuk, writes about his journey with his stutter and how BeneTalk helped him learn more.
At BeneTalk, we are a team that is proud to stutter and aim to encourage others to make their voices heard.
5 things you can do when talking to someone who stutters: communication, after all, is a two-way street!
BeneTalk is a mobile app designed for people who stutter, made by a team of people who stutter and stuttering allies.
Our advisor, Dr. Allan McGroarty, discusses how you can embrace speaking challenges as little risks that you can take on a daily basis, as opportunities for growth and change, as chances to expand those comfort zones that relate to your speech.
BeneTalker, Blake, talks about how the BeneTalk app has supported him along his stuttering journey.
BeneTalk has changed. For those of you who have been following us for a while, you may remember that our initial focus was to create a discreet wearable speech tracker. This idea drove us to learn and progress. And then the BeneTalk app was born.
While it may seem infinitely easier to not bring up your stutter in a conversation, self-advertising your stutter can help greatly with self-acceptance.
"Our responses to stuttering can shape how a child views their speech, but of course, we aren’t the only people involved in their lives. Speak with relatives, family friends and nursery or school staff about stuttering."
