Stuttering / Fluency
Supporting fluent speech through strategies for managing repetitions and blocks.
What is Stuttering / Fluency?
Stuttering is when a person's speech is interrupted by unplanned breaks, repetitions or stretches of sounds and words. 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.
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
