Stammering is a difference, not a defect. Refer if the parent/carer or child/young person is worried, upset or frustrated by their stammer or it is holding them back.
Speech and language therapy does not ‘get rid of’ stammering.
We support children and young people to be confident communicators. We can help stammering to feel easier and help ensure that stammering does not have a negative impact on confidence and participation.
