Stuttering / Fluency

Stuttering is when a person's speech is interrupted by unplanned breaks, repetitions or stretches of sounds and words. The flow of speech is interrupted, and often with unusual movements of the body and face. This might sound like:  

• Repeating sounds, words or phrases (“b-b-ball”)

• Stretching out sounds (“ssssssun”)

• Getting stuck and not being able to speak at all.

• Physical movements such as uncontrollable face or body movements when trying to speak

It can vary from day to day and often gets more noticeable during stress, excitement, or pressure.

Stuttering is not caused by anxiety or parenting. With support, people who stutter can learn strategies to communicate effectively and confidently.

We offer tailored stuttering therapy for children, teens, and adults. Support may include:

• Building speech fluency through evidence-based approaches (like the Lidcombe Program for children, Camperdown Program for adults and adolescents)

• Provide management strategies

• Supporting self-confidence and self-advocacy

• Helping parents and families support fluent, relaxed communication at home

Therapy is always collaborative, respectful, and focused on the person’s goals.
