Stuttering and Fluency Therapy

Stuttering and Fluency Therapy in Westlake Village

Many young children repeat sounds and words while their language explodes between ages 2 and 5 — and many outgrow it. But when stuttering persists, increases, or starts to frustrate your child, fluency therapy gives them tools and confidence. You do not have to wait and worry alone.

When is stuttering typical, and when should we act?

Easy, occasional repetitions in a preschooler are often part of development. We pay closer attention when stuttering lasts longer than 6–12 months, runs in the family, includes tension or blocks, or when your child starts avoiding talking. A fluency evaluation sorts this out clearly — and if it is developmental, we tell you that honestly and give you milestones to watch.

What fluency therapy looks like

Therapy is matched to age: for younger children we coach the communication environment — slower-paced conversation, reduced time pressure, and confidence-building — while school-age kids learn speech-shaping and stuttering-modification tools they can actually use in class and with friends. Just as important, we work on attitudes about talking, so speaking stays something your child likes to do.

How parents help — more than you think

Small changes at home make a measurable difference: unhurried turn-taking at dinner, responding to what your child says rather than how they say it, and modeling relaxed speech. We coach you on these directly — it is built into every plan, and our parent coaching can go deeper when you want it.
