Stuttering and Fluency Disorder Therapy
Compassionate, Effective Therapy to Help Your Child Find Their Voice and Speak with Confidence
The natural flow of speech is something many take for granted, but for children with fluency disorders, communication can be a source of anxiety. At Blossom Speech and Language Therapy, we specialize in helping children navigate these challenges. Contact us to learn more.
What Is a Fluency Disorder?
A fluency disorder is a speech disorder characterized by interruptions in the natural rhythm and flow of speech. While stuttering is the most well-known, other fluency issues can also affect communication. These interruptions can make it difficult for a child to express their thoughts clearly and confidently in social and academic settings.
Understanding Stuttering
Stuttering is a common type of fluency disorder that involves specific, observable interruptions in speech. These can include repetitions of sounds or words (e.g., "b-b-ball"), prolongations where a sound is stretched out (e.g., "ssssnake"), or blocks where no sound comes out. Our speech therapy can provide strategies to manage these moments.
Therapy for Various Speech Impediments
Beyond stuttering, our therapists are equipped to address a range of speech impediments related to fluency, such as cluttering, which involves a rapid or irregular speaking rate. We provide a thorough evaluation to understand the specific nature of your child's speech impediment. Contact our Modesto speech pathologist to get started.
