Support for Adults Who Stutter or Clutter
Stuttering and cluttering can impact communication confidence in social situations, workplaces, presentations, interviews, and everyday conversations.
Stuttering involves disruptions in the flow of speech such as repetitions, prolongations, or blocks that may be accompanied by tension or anxiety.
Cluttering involves rapid or disorganized speech where words may sound rushed, slurred, or difficult for others to follow.
Speech therapy can help adults improve fluency, speech clarity, pacing, communication confidence, and reduce anxiety related to speaking situations.
