Stuttering Therapy
Stuttering is more than just a speech impediment; it’s a barrier to self-expression, confidence, and connection. At Dr. Fluency USA, we’re committed to helping individuals reclaim their voice and achieve fluent speech through our comprehensive stuttering therapy programs. Located in the heart of New York City and extending our services to Long Island, we offer cutting-edge techniques and compassionate care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
Understanding Stuttering
Stuttering, also known as stammering, is a speech disorder characterized by disruptions in the flow of speech, such as repetitions, prolongations, and blocks. While the exact cause of stuttering remains unclear, research suggests a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. For many, stuttering begins in childhood and may persist into adulthood if left untreated.
Beyond the physical symptoms, stuttering often leads to emotional challenges, including anxiety, low self-esteem, and avoidance of social situations. That’s why effective stuttering therapy addresses not only speech mechanics but also the psychological impact of the disorder.
