Is your child experiencing difficulties with fluency, such as stuttering or cluttering? Fluency therapy can help them develop strategies to enhance their speech fluency, boost confidence, and foster effective communication. At Pediatric Teletherapy LLC, your experienced speech-language pathologist will provide individualized and evidence-based fluency therapy services to support your child's journey towards fluent and confident communication.

Understanding Fluency Disorders
Fluency disorders encompass a range of challenges that affect the natural flow and rhythm of speech. The two most common fluency disorders are stuttering and cluttering.
Stuttering : Stuttering is characterized by disruptions in the flow of speech, such as repetitions of sounds, syllables, or words, prolonged sounds, and blocks where the individual is unable to produce a sound. It often involves physical tension or struggle during speech.
Cluttering : Cluttering involves rapid, disorganized, or irregular speech rate, making it challenging for the listener to understand the message. Individuals with cluttering may exhibit rapid bursts of speech, unclear articulation, and difficulties organizing their thoughts.
The Goals of Fluency Therapy
The primary goals of fluency therapy are to:
Enhance Speech Fluency : Fluency therapy focuses on reducing the frequency and severity of dysfluencies, such as repetitions, prolongations, and blocks, while promoting smooth and effortless speech production.
Increase Communication Confidence : By addressing fluency challenges, individuals can develop increased confidence in their ability to communicate effectively, express their thoughts, and engage in conversations without fear or hesitation.
Improve Communication Strategies : Fluency therapy equips individuals with practical strategies to manage and cope with moments of dysfluency, such as using pausing techniques, employing relaxed breathing patterns, and implementing effective communication strategies.
Promote Overall Communication Skills : Fluency therapy also addresses related aspects of communication, including language skills, self-expression, social interaction, and self-advocacy.
