Stuttering is a speech condition where a person’s words may be interrupted by unplanned pauses, repetitions, or prolonged sounds. Children who stutter might also show signs of physical effort when speaking, such as facial tension or extra body movements. Stuttering is relatively common—about 1 in 100 people are affected.

How We Can Help

At Words of Wonder, we provide specialised support for children who stutter. Our speech pathologists are trained in evidence-based stuttering treatment approaches and tailor therapy to suit each child’s individual needs.

​

We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child’s speech patterns and how stuttering may be affecting their communication and confidence. Based on this assessment, we create a personalised therapy plan that may include:

• Fluency-enhancing techniques

• Breathing and timing strategies

• Tools to build confidence and reduce anxiety about speaking

• Evidence-based fluency programs appropriate for your child’s age

​

Therapy sessions are designed to be encouraging and supportive, helping your child build smooth speech skills in a positive, pressure-free environment. We work closely with parents, caregivers, and educators to make sure your child feels supported at home, at school, and in the community.

​

With consistent support and the right strategies, children who stutter can become more confident, effective communicators. We're here to guide and empower them every step of the way.
