Speech Therapy: The SAY Way
At SAY Speech Therapy, we believe that there is more to each child who stutters than the way that he or she talks. We take a holistic view of stuttering that includes not only speech behaviors, but also the thoughts and feelings that can have a very real impact on a child’s confidence, communication skills, and quality of life.
Because stuttering varies so much between individuals—and even from day to day as a child grows—we embrace a flexible approach to speech therapy that aims to meet each child and family where they are in the moment. By drawing on a range of evidence-supported therapy tools, we can individually tailor therapy for best possible impact, regardless of age.
With preschool- and early school-age children (2-6 years old), we try to work closely with caregivers and families to help them understand the nature of stuttering, and how best to support young children’s confidence and communication skills as they continue to grow.
For school-age children (age 7-12) and teens (age 13-18), priorities for therapy often include practical goals such as participating more in class, making new friends, responding to teasing at school, or exploring easier ways of speaking. Through child-directed therapy, children become empowered to advocate for themselves as they conquer their fears and come to better understand their own speech.
Speech Therapy can be even more effective when paired with other SAY programs, where kids build confidence and meet others their age who stutter. They often come away from Camp SAY and Confident Voices feeling less isolated, and ready to take on even bigger challenges in Speech Therapy!
