Children & Teens Who Stutter
Every child is different. So is every family's journey.
Parents often come with questions.
You may be wondering why your child stutters, whether it will change over time, or how to respond in a way that feels supportive. You may simply want to understand what's happening and know you're taking the right next step.
Speech therapy is about more than helping children communicate. It's also about helping parents feel informed, supported, and confident along the way.
How speech therapy can help
Therapy is individualized to your child's unique strengths, needs, and goals.
Some children are just beginning to stutter. Others have been stuttering for years. Some are excited to talk. Others have started holding back.
Therapy meets your child where they are today while helping them grow in confidence, participation, and communication over time.
Parents are part of that process, too. Together, we'll build understanding and practical ways to support communication in everyday life.
What therapy might include
Every child is different, and therapy should be too.
Sessions may focus on helping your child participate more comfortably, express ideas more fully, navigate situations that feel difficult, and build confidence in everyday communication.
When articulation or language needs are also affecting communication, those can be supported as part of an individualized therapy plan.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Whether your child has recently started stuttering or has been stuttering for years, support can begin with understanding what you’re noticing and what matters most to your family.
When you’re ready, we can talk about the next step.
