Hi Equus, I've also had problems with this. However, I've improved during recovery. My problem was I was so uptight, that I was thinking of the next thing to say while saying the first. During recovery I've been able to stop, take a breath then respond to others. Does he also have trouble breathing while talking? The VA has a class on breathing excersizes. This has also helped. At times I've started to hyper-ventilate while trying to talk. I have also recieved help posting here and by reading books. Again, I suggest he try breating excersizes and taking a moment before he talks. Another thing my wife pointed out to me, is that when I write or post, sometimes I reverse letters. I think it is a mild case of being, dexlecic(sp). I must reread what I write and correct it. Since I've worked on it I've noticed my stammering has improved. I hope this helps, if not, there are speech theraphy counsilors. Don W
