Stuttering & Fluency Therapy
Fluency refers to the ease and smoothness of speech. Stuttering is a common fluency disorder, and every child who stutters has their own unique experience. Our approach focuses on supporting your child's ability to communicate confidently — in every setting.
What This Looks Like
At Into Words Therapy, we take a whole-child approach to stuttering that goes beyond techniques:
- Supporting your child's ability to speak confidently across environments — classroom, playground, home
- Learning about fluency-enhancing environments and what helps your child speak more easily
- Helping your child and family understand stuttering as something that can be managed across the lifespan
- Reducing avoidance behaviors and building a positive relationship with communication
What to Expect in Therapy
- A supportive environment where your child can speak freely
- Education for your child and family about stuttering across the lifespan
- Strategies for fluency-enhancing environments at home and school
- Building confidence in communication across settings
- Collaboration with teachers to create supportive classroom environments
Signs Your Child Might Benefit from Therapy
Every child is different, but here are some common signs we see:
Abby's story
She has so much to say, and when she speaks she repeats the first sound of words — "b-b-b-but I want to go!"
Joel's story
When he's frustrated or excited, words seem to get stuck in his mouth and he can't get them out.
Jordan's story
When he tells stories, sometimes he holds onto a sound in a word and can't seem to move on to the next word.
