Stuttering Therapy for Teens
Individual Therapy
Therapy for teens starts with an evaluation, to asses the client's needs. Then, therapy is typically held once weekly, for a 45 minute session. While the therapy is focused around the child, parents and caretaker involvement, education, and counseling are all integrate parts of the process.
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 we often recommend that teens and adults (ages 13 and up) join The STAR center's bi-weekly, 60 minute teens group. This group gives teens and adults the opportunity to get support from peers who stutter, share challenges and accomplishments related to stuttering, and practice speaking techniques in a safe atmosphere.
