Are you or a loved one struggling with stuttering? At our multidisciplinary therapy center in Singapore, we offer an array of services designed to address stuttering from various angles, including speech therapy and psychological services such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Our highly-trained and experienced professionals are committed to providing a personalized and comprehensive approach that can help you achieve more fluent speech.
Stuttering is a communication disorder that affects the flow of speech, causing disruptions in normal speech patterns. It can lead to feelings of embarrassment, anxiety, and social isolation. Our therapy center aims to provide evidence-based interventions that can improve speech fluency and overall communication.
How Speech Therapists Can Help With Stuttering:
- Assessment: Our speech therapists will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the severity of stuttering, identify any contributing factors, and establish personalized goals for therapy.
- Speech Techniques: We teach various techniques that promote fluency, such as controlled fluency, pacing, and easy onset. These methods help clients gain control over their speech patterns and reduce the frequency of stuttering. The Lidcombe Approach is an exceptionally effective program for enhancing speech fluency, providing valuable support to individuals of all ages, including both children and adults, who experience stuttering challenges.
- Self-Monitoring: Our therapists will work with clients to develop self-monitoring skills, allowing them to identify moments of stuttering and apply the techniques they’ve learned to improve fluency.
- Desensitization: We help clients become more comfortable with stuttering by exposing them to situations that might trigger stuttering, reducing the anxiety and negative emotions associated with it.
- Parent and Family Involvement: For children who stutter, our therapists engage parents and family members to create a supportive environment at home, fostering a positive attitude towards communication.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Stuttering:
- Identify and Challenge Negative Thoughts: CBT can help clients recognize unhelpful thoughts related to their stuttering and replace them with more adaptive beliefs.
- Reduce Anxiety: Our psychologists help clients develop relaxation techniques and coping strategies to manage speech-related anxiety, which can exacerbate stuttering.
- Social Skills Training: Clients learn effective communication strategies that can improve their confidence in social situations, reducing the impact of stuttering on their daily lives.
- Goal Setting and Progress Monitoring: Together with our therapists, clients set realistic goals for their therapy and monitor their progress, ensuring they stay motivated and engaged throughout the process.
