Stuttering is a speech disorder that causes interruptions in the rhythm or flow of speech.

These interruptions may include repeated sounds (c-c-can), syllables (da, da, daddy), words (and-and-and) or phrases (I want-I want-I want).

Repetitions might happen once (b-ball, can-can) or multiple times (I-I-I-I-I want, m-m-m-m-mummy). Stuttering can also include prolongations (caaaan I go) and blocks (person appears stuck with no voice). Secondary behaviours may also be present.

Our therapists are trained to assess, treat and mange stuttering. Speech Moves clinicians regularly attend professional development training to keep up to date with the latest evidence-based interventions.

Babies begin to learn from the moment they are born, firstly understanding what they hear and later, expressing themselves through talking. Most babies say their first words between 12-18 months, although the words may not sound exactly as they should.

Language is fundamental to a child’s development. Every child learns to speak by listening, playing with sounds and talking to others. We teach parents the skills they need to extend their child’s communication skills in everyday routines at home on a daily basis.

We use current evidence-based programs together with play-based hands-on intervention to develop your child’s communication skills.
