- Dr. Jeffrey MacCormack is an assistant professor at the University of Lethbridge’s Faculty of Education. He shares his childhood experiences as a stutterer, along with the steps he takes when preparing to speak, which is a big part of his role as an educator. He advocates for stutterers within education, but also people with disabilities and differences more broadly. His big message is that students need to see teachers who model resilience and, more broadly, “easier” is not necessarily better.

I'm a teacher and I have a stammer. I owe it to my students to show them what's possible and create an inclusive learning environment for everyone.
I had a stammer when I was in school. There was no mercy. I had to read aloud what everyone else did. No-one asked me if I wanted to or not. School was a nightmare. By 18 I had learnt to mask it by avoiding words. By 40 I realised that the root of the problem was fear. I asked for prayer and looked for Bible verses that spoke about overcoming fear. The more I spoke the verses out the less fear I had. I tested it out by putting myself in speaking opportunities using the verses before. Gradually the root of fear was uprooted and I was a presenter on radio. Now I love speaking in public. The freedom is supernatural and wonderful. Thank you God
I'm glad I finally watched this, Jeff. It was a pleasure learning from you in your class!
You’re a great and admiring teacher. Thank you so much for talking of your personal experiences. Lovely watching and listening to you here on the top of Italian mountain.
I also have "Block" kind stuttering and I also aspire to be a professor
A menu of alternative words is the technique I use but it so exhausting. This is why getting enough sleep and relaxation is so important for me.
who else here stutters uncontrollably
Plz elaborate, I have mine pretty under control, S and F can be annoying, that's besides all the letter combinations lol
Literally everyone with a stutter, stutters uncontrollably
i'm 16 and have a stutter/stammer and it was hilarious because everything you said pretty much perfectly describes me
Am 35, i began stuttering from childhood.its so painful that am not able to explain myself clearly because many people dont take me seriously even some loose interest in listening to me, I will forever be grateful to Doctor isibor God will continue to Bless you sir more knowledge. You can also stop stuttering
What a fabulous talk. Thank you for your candor and your advocacy!
He seems to talk very fluently, I'm a little confused here......
@@clydetheglidetop5sgtop10du7 He's learned some effective techniques to work around his stutter. These are commonly taught in speech therapy but don't work for everyone. The important part is his acceptance of his stuttering (recent research shows shame should be the *first* thing tackled in speech therapy, before the speech itself) and how he's trying to spread that healthy attitude.

@@raqueltripp7661 i m also facing this stammering still even after completed my Master's degree
I m unable to teach in class room...how can i contact this person
@@mashooq2553 I don't have this gentleman's contact information. But if you seek out speech therapy (look for a "speech-language pathologist" who specializes in stuttering), there are many qualified people who can help you!
Brilliant. Things are hard but that’s okay.

I have the same «block» he’s talking about. It’s humiliating, and i don’t understand why it happens but i can’t do anything about it. And i don’t really feel nervous or anything before it happens.
You know, he is saying it exactly as it is.
"Have you forgotten your name?" I always get that question 😅
Thank you so much sir i am from nepal 🇳🇵
I have a severe stutter I'm 32 years old ,Unfortunately there is no magical cure for stuttering and speech therapy is really difficult.

Another case of a person who stutter who doesn't really stutter !
Still waiting for him to stutter.....
there are different levels of stuttering severity
There's also something called interiorised stuttering. Someone with a stutter who's practiced their techniques for years (he talks about some of his here, like pausing and having synonyms constantly on hand) can often appear fluent. But they're having to work the entire time to appear that way. Also, stuttering can be like the weather - good days and bad, good hours and bad, good minutes and bad.
did you not watch the video??
