For Parents of Children who Stutter

Nurturing and Empowering Your Child

I work with parents to support children who stutter, focusing on creating a communication environment that reduces pressure and builds confidence over time.

Many parents are unsure how to respond in moments of disfluency—whether to wait, step in, encourage, or protect. Therapy offers clear guidance so you can respond in ways that support your child without increasing tension or self-consciousness.

Together, we focus on:

  • How to respond during moments of disfluency

  • How to talk about stuttering in a supportive way

  • Supporting participation at home, school, and with peers

  • Building your child’s self-advocacy skills 

We also support your child emotionally—helping them navigate frustration, build understanding, and strengthen their sense of agency.
