Stuttering
Stuttering appears frightening and mystifying, especially when your own child begins to stutter. The good news is that with early intervention many children can completely overcome stuttering. A percentage of the population will continue to stutter even with intervention, but with proper therapy techniques stuttering doesn’t need to hold anyone back from achieving their dreams. Understanding stuttering removes the fear and mystery, and with understanding, half the battle is won.
I have taken training in stuttering treatment from Dr. Barry Guitar and Dr. Peter Ramig, extending my expertise beyond the level required to earn my degree in speech-language therapy. I have successfully worked with preschool and school aged stuttering clients, with the majority able to overcome stuttering.
Stuttering Resources
The Stuttering Foundation of America is an outstanding online resource. If you have questions about stuttering their FAQ section is a good place to start. I particularly like their online videos.
