A person suffering from stuttering may employ distraction strategies to help him or her stop stuttering. Typically, a person stuttering becomes frustrated. encouraging the person to think of something or do something else may break the stuttering cycle

Being under stress, overly tired, or having any extreme emotion can make stuttering worse or make it start if you are prone to stutter. Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep; try to destress your life as much as possible; try to avoid situations that cause emotions like anger. The Stuttering Foundation of America is a great source for help. They have information for all ages, online videos, free e-books, and downloadable brochures.

It could be a multitude of things ranging from needing a tune up or plug wires or it could be something as simple as the Throttle position sensor. Usually if it's a TPS it will idle rather high and uncontrollable. If it happens only under load I would suspect a broken plug or bad wire.

How many days takes for cure stammering?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no "cure" for stuttering, however, techniques can help control it. It depends on the person, if they have a speech therapist who has been trained well in the therapy techniques, how long the person has been stuttering, and how well they learn and practice to make the techniques a part of their life as to how long it will take for them to learn to control it. The Stuttering Foundation of America is the best source for help, referrals to qualified trained therapists, self-help materials, and support.
