Online Stuttering Therapy For Children
Many people who stutter know what they would like to say but have trouble producing a normal speech flow.
The exact cause of stuttering is unknown, although research suggests that those with a familial history are more likely to stutter.
Interestingly, we may all go through periods of normal disfluency when we are young and learning to speak. However, if you or your child experience difficulty and tend to hesitate or repeat certain syllables or words for more than two months, that could be a sign of a stuttering problem.
The focus of therapy for children and adults is to change the way people who stutter communicate with others.
Our techniques target the speaker’s tension, struggle, and avoidance of the core moment of stuttering.
Stuttering therapy will be playful, and we will work side-by-side with the child to maximize the treatment effect. Our nationally certified team of speech-language pathologists are experts in stuttering and have a strong understanding of the research on various stuttering therapy techniques that are highly engaging for children.
Signs of a Stuttering Problem Include:
→ Consistently repeating sounds in a word or words in a sentence
→ Hesitating involuntarily between words in sentences
→ Avoiding saying words that are too difficult to say
→ Showing signs of struggle or anxiety when trying to speak
Stuttering Therapy Goals
The ultimate goal is to speak with less tension by reducing disfluencies, increasing awareness of stuttering moments, and treating secondary behaviors resulting from stuttering.
- Increase awareness of/reduce physical tension
- Reduce struggling behaviors/unlearn secondary behaviors
- Increase feelings of self-control
- Increase awareness of speech that is disfluent
- Increase feelings of openness and acceptance of disfluent speech
The trajectory of stuttering therapy interventions is different for each person, and there is no exact amount of time that applies to everyone. Each of your 30, 45, or 60-minute sessions will be productive and you’ll make measurable progress toward your communication goals!
