Stuttering Therapy for Children, Teens, and Adults
No matter your age, your schedule, or your season of life, we have services that meet your needs.
We understand that seeking therapy for stuttering can feel scary or intimidating, but we want to assure you that our process is easy to understand and appointments are tailored to your individual needs. Our team of experienced therapists are here to support you on your journey every step of the way.
Initial Stuttering Evaluation
During this 90-minute appointment we spend time getting to know you or your child. You will complete an online intake packet prior to your evaluation to help us begin learning about you or your child and your specific communication needs. The evaluation allows SLPs to gather quantitative and qualitative information about you or your child to inform subsequent treatment sessions. We will complete questionnaires, speech and language screenings, and formal "tests" to learn how stuttering impacts your or your child's life in a variety of communication settings. This information will provide us with baseline data to help us measure progress and growth throughout the therapy process.
Ongoing Therapy Sessions
Our hope through treatment is that every person who stutters will be able to say exactly what they want to say in a confident voice. We offer 30 and 50-minute therapy sessions with frequency ranging from once a week to once a month depending on your therapy goals and scheduling needs. We will partner with you to develop a therapeutic plan that may include becoming more aware of your speech mechanism, learning about your speech pattern, real-life practice in the community, and more. Thoughts, feelings, and overall life impact of stuttering are a big part of therapy. We address fear, anxiety, shame, and anything else that may be holding you or your child back from spontaneous and joyful communication.
Group Therapy for Adults Who Stutter
Group therapy is an excellent way for people who stutter to feel a sense of freedom to communicate without avoidance by facing fears related to stuttering.The supportive group works together towards goals of being more open and accepting about stuttering, and experiencing more spontaneity and joy in communication. We currently meet virtually once a month on Wednesday nights (dates subject to change). An individual evaluation will be completed before joining the group to find out what brought you to speech therapy and how the SSTA group can help.
Group Support for Parents of Children Who Stutter
Stuttering profoundly affects not only the individual who stutters but also the entire family. Our dedicated support group offers a secure space for parents and caregivers to openly express their fears, challenges, and aspirations concerning their children who stutter. Through virtual meetings with a flexible schedule, we foster a nurturing environment where families can find understanding, guidance, and mutual support.
SLP Consultation and Training
At our clinic, we deeply empathize with the intricate cases, diagnostic challenges, and distinct client aspirations that speech-language pathologists encounter. With our wealth of experience and unwavering dedication to individuals who stutter, we empower our fellow professionals to excel in addressing stuttering and other fluency disorders. Our comprehensive trainings and inservice opportunities on stuttering are tailored for schools, clinics, and SLP organizations, fostering growth and knowledge across the field.
