Speech therapy

Fluency Disorders (stuttering)

It is normal for children to go through periods of stuttering when they are developing their languages . However, stuttering that persists more than 3 months may require speech therapy assessment

Symptoms of stuttering may include difficulty starting a word, phrase or sentence, prolonging a word or sounds within a word, repetition of a sound, syllable or word, or pauses within a word. Stuttering may also be accompanied by rapid eye blinks, tremors of the lips or jaw, facial tics, head jerks or other unrelated body movements. If stuttering persists, it may affect child’s psychosocial development.
Researches continue to investigate on the underlying causes of stuttering. Possible causes include abnormalities in neurology, speech motor control and genetics.

Depending on child’s abilities, speech therapists deliver individualized treatment. Parental involvement is essential. We also provide training to parents so that therapy can be continued at home
