Speaking Freely: Building Confidence in Communication
For children who stutter, speaking can sometimes feel like a challenge. Our stuttering support therapy provides a nurturing and understanding environment where kids learn strategies to speak more smoothly and communicate with greater ease and confidence. We focus on empowering your child to express themselves freely.
What is Stuttering?
Stuttering is a disruption in the flow of speech. Stuttering is not a sign of anxiety or intelligence. It's a speech difference that therapy can effectively address, helping children develop tools for more fluent communication. It can involve:
Repetitions: Repeating sounds, syllables, or words (e.g., "b-b-ball" or "I-I-I want").
Prolongations: Stretching out sounds (e.g., "ssssss-un").
Blocks: Getting stuck and having difficulty starting a word.
Additions: Saying "buhlue" instead of "blue."
Building Confident Communication!
We make fluency practice a fun journey. Our secret? Personalized strategies and gentle techniques that build smoother speech and confidence, with helpful tools for parents.
