• Maintain good eye contact as much as possible.
• Demonstrate good listening skills through good use of body language.
• Do not rush the conversation and avoid seeming in a hurry to get away.
• Show an interest in what they have to say rather than pity or impatience with how they are talking.
• Avoid asking him/her to slow down or take a deep breathe whilst they are still talking.
• Never tease a person with a stammer because they stammer. It can seriously damage their self-confidence.
• Keep your own speech rate at an even pace.
• Read about stammering and how you can make talking easier for people who stammer.
