Fluency/Stuttering Speech Therapy
Evan is a 7-year-old child who was referred to speech-language pathology due to concerns regarding speech fluency. His parents and teachers noticed frequent repetitions of sounds and words, prolongations, and occasional blocks during speech.
Evan became increasingly aware of his stuttering over time and sometimes showed frustration when he felt “stuck” while speaking. He began avoiding speaking in group settings and was less likely to volunteer answers in class, despite being an enthusiastic and capable student. Evan was starting to feel self-conscious of his stuttering around his peers.
His family’s goals were to support more fluent communication, reduce frustration related to speaking, and help Evan feel confident expressing himself in all environments.
Speech therapy for childhood stuttering focuses not only on fluency, but also on confidence, communication participation, and emotional well-being. By combining fluency strategies with supportive, child-centred approaches, children can develop effective communication skills and a positive relationship with speaking.
Through individualized intervention and collaboration with families and schools, children who stutter can communicate with greater ease, confidence, and self-assurance.
