Stuttering
Stuttering affects self esteem and friendships. Therapy for childhood stuttering can be extremely successful. Adults are able to learn strategies to control their stuttering which promotes advancement in the workplace and confidence in social situations. Stuttering
therapy is conducive to virtual therapy.
Language + Articulation
A child should be easily understood by 3 ½ years old with all sounds developed before age 7. Articulation therapy is fun, boosts self-confidence and can impact academic success. Face to face works best however the new interactive materials and platforms make virtual learning fun!
