Stuttering is caused by a physical difference at the brain level, involving the neural processing that affects the timing, sensory, and motor control coordination that supports speech production.
There is a high genetic disposition to stuttering. Variations in certain genes appear to be linked to the brain anatomy involved in speech.
The goal of speech therapy is to improve your communication skills – at home, at school, at work, in everyday life activities.
All speech evaluations and treatment can be conducted in the convenience of your own home.
