Phone calls with a stutter: practical strategies

• Choose a quiet place and a time that suits you.

During the call

• Say your name and that you may stutter, if that helps you.

• Use the speaking techniques you practice in therapy.

• Take your time. The other person can wait.

After the call

Notice what went well. Every call is practice, not a test.
