Neuroplasticity exploded on the medical scene circa 2000, asserts that the brain is like plastic, and its performance can be changed (inorganically and organically) as long as we live.

I studied Coach Lee’s book and Skyped with him a bunch of times, and I learned and used most of his methods, as so well described on WSSA’s website. All of this was of incredible help to me. In this process, I stumbled on a crutch of my own, which Coach Lee now calls “the […]
To help our children, we need to understand the origin of stuttering. Virtually all humans are overly concerned with the opinions of others. This goes back to primitive mankind’s life in the wilderness, where every encounter with a stranger posed a potential life-and-death threat and stimulated what the medical world calls the “fear-fight-flight” syndrome, which […]

I was watching a video last night of the great Tony Robbins. I love Tony Robbins, he exemplifies confidence for me, and his story fascinates me, his childhood was not unlike my own childhood. I normally get so much value from watching videos from him and last night was no exception. He was discussing positive […]
“Prathusha’s Pandora” Hello Mates! I’m P-Pa-prrr- Prathusha… Well, that’s how I started my Skype session with Lee Lovett. Earlier, I had done quite a few speech therapies that did not work. The obvious reasons for not working is the speech therapist himself because he was a NORMAL SPEAKER (Non-PWS) and I don’t blame him for […]
