What is Stuttering
Stuttering is a speech disorder that affects the flow of speech. It may cause repetitions (b-b-ball), prolongations (ssssun), or blocks (.....I want that). Some children may also feel anxiety when speaking. Early speech therapy can help improve fluency and build confidence.
How Speech Therapy Helps
Speech therapy focuses on techniques to improve fluency. Children learn slow and controlled speech patterns, breathing exercises, and sound practice. Therapists also use fun activities to help kids gain confidence while speaking in everyday situations.
