Finding The Right Stuttering Treatment Tucson

By Lisa Williamson


It is easy to forget that for very young children having a stutter is normal. Repeating certain syllables or sounds is something that is especially common with children between the ages of two to five. Typically this is because they are learning to speak and developing the ability to fully form words can take time. Unfortunately sometimes this problem can go beyond this age and into adulthood and this is when you may want to consider Stuttering treatment Tucson.

There are various theories as to what actually causes a person to stutter. Genetics are considered to be a factor as over half of people who have a stutter will typically have a family member who stutters as well. If someone has another form of speech problem then they may have a stutter as well.

One of the most common methods of treating someone with a stutter is to use the services of a speech language pathologist. As with any consultant it is strongly recommended that you choose someone with relevant experience. Ideally you should also get one that had had some personal experience.

This may mean that they themselves had a stutter when they were younger and so understand how it feels to have the condition. Alternatively they may know someone in their family with the condition or are actively involved in educating children and adults about stuttering and how it could potentially affect children and adults in later life.

For parents there are things you can do to positively help children deal with speech difficulties. For example some people may think that getting children to read aloud may help. The problem is this can make children feel uncomfortable and awkward. Telling them to slow down or take their time may seem helpful but this can also increase their anxiety.

One element of the condition is the psychological aspect. In some cases this can be affected by parents who mean well but do the wrong. For example they may encourage their children to read aloud or tell them to slow down or take their time when they speak. This can make children feel uncomfortable and anxious when they treat to speak and this can continue into their adult life.

A consultant ought to be sympathetic and willing to listen to their client regardless of their age. This can be especially difficult if they are working with children who naturally will be nervous about opening up to a stranger. This is why you need to choose someone who has the relevant experience and can demonstrate they can specialise with working with different types of clients.

It is also important to note that stuttering can be as a result of social anxiety as well and in some cases it may be a psychological as well as physical issue. If possible you should look online to find consultants in your local area so you can discuss your condition or the condition of a family member in person. It cannot be emphasised enough that any treatments for stuttering are not cures but are there to help people adapt and better able to cope with the condition.
