School Aged Stuttering
You have a child in elementary school who stutters. He has likely been stuttering for years-since he started talking. He's likely received or continues to receive speech therapy through school or a private center. He may be frustrated with his speech. He may not participate in activities or volunteer answering out-loud in class. He may experience bullying. He may change his words to avoid a stutter. He may rely on others to "talk" for him. He may have mastered techniques learned in speech therapy, but still avoids speaking in natural environments. Learn how Stuttering and Speech Therapy Services can help.
