Finding The Right Stuttering Treatment Tucson

By Lisa Williamson


For people who stutter it can be difficult. Whether you are in school or at work it can affect your confidence. Unfortunately there is no cure for stuttering. However there are various types of Stuttering treatment Tucson available that can help people control their condition and deal with any underlying confidence issues they may have.

There are various theories as to what actually causes a person to stutter. Genetics are considered to be a factor as over half of people who have a stutter will typically have a family member who stutters as well. If someone has another form of speech problem then they may have a stutter as well.

Another theory is that for some people they have a different process in the brain. The first signs generally tend to show when the baby is around 18 to 24 months old. In effect this can mean the way the muscles and the brain interact make it hard to form normal speech patterns.

This may mean that they themselves had a stutter when they were younger and so understand how it feels to have the condition. Alternatively they may know someone in their family with the condition or are actively involved in educating children and adults about stuttering and how it could potentially affect children and adults in later life.

For parents there are things you can do to positively help children deal with speech difficulties. For example some people may think that getting children to read aloud may help. The problem is this can make children feel uncomfortable and awkward. Telling them to slow down or take their time may seem helpful but this can also increase their anxiety.

One element of the condition is the psychological aspect. In some cases this can be affected by parents who mean well but do the wrong. For example they may encourage their children to read aloud or tell them to slow down or take their time when they speak. This can make children feel uncomfortable and anxious when they treat to speak and this can continue into their adult life.

There are various consultants that can help people with speech problems. Some will specialise in working with children and others with adults. It is important that they listen to their clients and understand their goals. For example some people will want to learn how to slow down when they speak and others will want ways to speak more clearly.

It is also important to note that stuttering can be as a result of social anxiety as well and in some cases it may be a psychological as well as physical issue. If possible you should look online to find consultants in your local area so you can discuss your condition or the condition of a family member in person. It cannot be emphasised enough that any treatments for stuttering are not cures but are there to help people adapt and better able to cope with the condition. Use your regular search engine for more information and to find consultancy services in your local area.
