Stuttering (Fluency)
Many children present with dysfluent speech or stuttering behaviors. Stuttering is an interruption in the flow of speech. Dysfluent speech can present as repetitions of sounds, syllables, words or phrases, prolongations of speech sounds, or blocked speech (when a child is attempting to say something, but little or no sound is produced). Children who stutter may also exhibit interjections or revisions. Children who exhibit stuttering behaviors may or may not have negative feelings and emotions in response to their stuttering behaviors.
Brittany has trained with the New England Fluency Program, an Intensive Therapy Program for People Who Stutter. Brittany can determine if your child's dysfluencies are more likely to subside naturally overtime (spontaneous recovery) or, if Speech-Language Therapy is recommended.
If your child is exhibiting Stuttering behaviors, call or e-mail Brittany to discuss your concerns in more detail.
