Stuttering Therapy for Adults
Individual Therapy
Therapy for adults starts with an evaluation, to asses the client's needs. Then, therapy is typically held once weekly, for a 45 minute session.
At the STAR Center, therapy is implemented using a comprehensive approach, that incorporates physical strategies to make talking easier, as well as education, reducing fears, counseling, and parent/family involvement.
While there is no cure for stuttering, speech therapy and stuttering support and therapy can help people better manage their stuttering. Research has shown that stuttering support and therapy can reduce negative effects of stuttering, such as improve self-confidence and develop positive attitudes about speaking.
Teen/Adult Group
After attending individual therapy sessions, and acquiring the basics, teens and adults (ages 13 and up) are eligible to participate in The STAR center's bi-weekly, 60 minute, teens group. This group gives teens and adults, who stutter, the opportunity to get support from peers who stutter, share challenges and accomplishments related to stuttering, and practice speaking techniques in a safe atmosphere.
