A Parent’s Guide to Supporting a Child Who Stammers

If you are wondering what to do if your child stammers then you are in the right place. Many parents and carers feel worried or unsure of what to do when their child begins to stammer. We have created this free guide to provide clear, supportive and evidence based information about childhood stammering and how adults can respond in everyday situations.

Inside the guide you will find practical advice on supporting communication at home, understanding what stammering is (and isn’t) and responding calmly when your child gets stuck on words. The aim is to help parents feel more confident and create relaxed conversations that support their child’s communication.

The guide has been written by specialists in speech and language therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy who work with children and families who experience stammering. It can be a great start to a therapy journey and the guide has space for you to add notes to discuss with your therapist if you choose to pursue therapy with us.
