“Early intervention has a far more positive prognosis than later treatment. (Starkweather & Gottwald, 1990).”
100% of parents and families who request therapy for stuttering indicate, "I want my child to speak with confidence." Stuttering affects the whole family so at Speech Associates, we all work together towards the same goal, because we know how tough it is for parents to hear their kids stutter.
As every child is different in the way they stutter, only a licensed Speech will know exactly what kind of stuttering therapy is best for your child. Speech Associates SLPs understand the best approach to take as well as how to train and educate parents as part of the therapy process.
Children’s Stuttering Program
We serve preschool and school-aged children (ages 2-14 years) one-to-one individualized treatment. We also provide parent education and training, as well as teaching fluency-enhancing techniques.
Adult/Teen Stuttering Program
We serve adults and adolescents (13 years and up) and provide individual weekly one-to-one or intensive speech therapy sessions.
We treat stuttering holistically helping any existing underlying language-impairments, literacy issues or speech production deficiencies right from stuttering onset. Together, we pinpoint the best treatment methods, address patient and parental concerns to help mange and control all forms of stuttering.
