stuttering Treatment
Stuttering is a disruption of fluent or smooth speech. This disruption, or dysfluency, can sometimes not only be heard, but also be seen. We can help.
We’ll Show you How To stop Stuttering
Stuttering (or Stammering) can greatly impact the way you participate at school or work, socialize with peers, or even interact at home.
We understand how stuttering can effect your relationships and are here to help. We will assess your speech and create a customized goal plan, providing strategies that target your specific difficulties.
We also provide training for spouses or partners so that they may learn how to better communicate with you and help foster fluent speech in a variety of contexts.
Initial Sound Repetition
Examples of this include “P–p-put the glass over there” or “D–d-did you see that?”
Prolongations
Examples of this include “Come at sssssseven o’clock” and “Nnnnnnnot if I can help it!”
Partial-Word Repetition
Examples of this include “Can I have some wa–wa-water?” and “May–may-maybe we can do that.”
Interjections
Examples of this include “My um, um, um, manager said I couldn’t go” and “There wasn’t anyone there to, like, open up the door.”
speaking with confidence
Those who stutter into adulthood often complain that their dysfluency reads as a lack of confidence or knowledge, when this certainly isn’t the case. This may, in turn, make one reluctant to share their ideas in a public setting or assume a leadership role.
Although there is no cure, per se, stuttering can be controlled and we can show you how. At Wonderspeak, we’ve helped people from all ages and with varying degrees of severity manage their difficulties. We’ve had great success with those who want to see real and lasting change, and we can help you too.
