Fluency Therapy (Stuttering Support) in Edmonton
Fluency refers to the smooth flow of speech. A fluency disorder — commonly known as stuttering, stammering, or “bumpy speech” — can affect how easily words come out.

Repeat sounds or syllables (“b-b-b-ball”)
Prolong sounds (“sssssnake”)
Get stuck on words
Show physical tension when speaking
Avoid certain words or situations
Feel frustrated or embarrassed about speaking
Stuttering can impact classroom participation, friendships, and self-confidence. Early, supportive intervention can make a meaningful difference.
Our Edmonton stuttering therapy programs focus on:

Building speech confidence
Teaching fluency strategies
Supporting emotional resilience
Parent education and coaching
We take a strengths-based approach that prioritizes both communication skills and emotional well-being. Some children who stutter also experience language delays, learn about Language Development Therapy in Edmonton.
