Speech Therapy in Round Rock, TX
Stuttering is common, it's treatable, and it has nothing to do with intelligence or nerves. Oasis Speech offers online stuttering therapy and speech therapy for Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park and Hutto, for young children, school-age kids, teens and adults.
Stuttering in Young Children
Many children go through a stretch of bumpy speech between ages 2 and 5, and many outgrow it. Some don't. A stuttering evaluation is a good idea if:
The stuttering has lasted more than 6 months
It started after age 3½
You see tension or struggle, like blinking, face tension or pushing to get words out
Your child avoids talking or says "I can't say it"
Someone in the family stutters
With young children, therapy includes you. You'll learn small changes in how the family talks and plays that make speaking easier.
Stuttering Therapy for Older Kids, Teens and Adults
For older speakers, therapy works on speaking techniques, handling moments of stuttering with less tension, and the confidence to talk in class, at work and on the phone. The goal is saying what you want to say, when you want to say it. Learn more about our adult stuttering therapy.
