How Our Speech Therapists Can Help?

Fluency disorders affect the rhythm, flow, and ease of speaking. They can make communication feel frustrating or challenging for both the speaker and the listener. At Thrive Therapy, we support individuals of all ages in building confidence and improving communication through personalized therapy for fluency disorders.

​​

Our Speech-Language Pathologists offer evidence-based therapy that’s tailored to your needs. We use approaches such as:

  • Fluency shaping techniques to promote smoother speech

  • Stuttering modification to reduce fear and tension

  • Parent training and coaching to support carryover at home

  • Mindfulness and self-regulation strategies to reduce anxiety

  • Play-based and interactive sessions to keep children engaged

  • Therapy is designed to improve not just speech fluency, but also communication confidence and self-esteem.​​​

What Is Stuttering?

​​

Stuttering is a speech disorder that affects the natural flow of speech. An individual who stutters may:

  • Repeat sounds or syllables (e.g., “b-b-b-ball”, “Can-can-can I go?”)

  • Prolong sounds (e.g., “ssssssun”)

  • Experience blocks where no sound comes out

  • Show physical tension or struggle while speaking

  • Avoid certain words or speaking situations

  • Early support from a Speech-Language Pathologist can significantly reduce the impact of stuttering and help children develop smoother, more confident speech.

​​​

Stuttering often begins in early childhood and may fluctuate in severity depending on emotions, environment, or stress. Early support can be key in minimizing long-term impact.​
