Children's Stammering Therapy Specialist SLT Support in Watford
Stammering is a natural variation in speech that often starts between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Sometimes the onset of stammering is gradual and for others it may feel sudden but either way it can be worrying for a parent. Some children repeat sounds or words whilst others may stretch out sounds or just get completely stuck for a moment.
It maybe that your child has commented on their words e.g. 'I can't say it' or 'my words won't come out'. Older children may be able to tell you about moments that are more challenging for them to talk in, such as answering questions or the register.
I offer specialist assessment and therapy for children who stammer, helping families understand what stammering is, why it happens, and how to support communication with confidence. Parents are central to the process, ensuring your child never feels alone in their journey.
I offer compassionate, evidence-based support that honours each individual's voice and builds confidence in their communication. My work with children who stammer is recognised by STAMMA who include me in their national list of recommended therapists and I am also an accredited Palin PCI therapist at the Michael Palin Centre.
If you'd like to give me a call to discuss your child's speech please contact me. I provide therapy across West Hertfordshire either face to face or on online. If you are an adult who stammers you can find more information about therapy for adults here.
Further information about stammering can also be found at the Michael Palin Centre.
