Everyone has disfluent speech sometimes, but not everyone experiences stuttering. People who stutter may experience increased amounts of stuttered moments, physical tension, and/or negative emotions surrounding speaking.

In speech therapy we aim to foster healthy communication attitudes, whether a student continues to stutter or not. We address this through... 

1) Educating students and their peers about speech and stuttering, 

2) Learning self-advocacy skills, and 

3) Equipping students with tools for their "toolbox" to facilitate communication (i.e., stuttering modification and/or fluency shaping techniques).
