Stammers

Most people are familiar with adults who have a stammer (stutter) as their difficulties are hi-lighted by many in the public eye, consequently it can be very worrying if your child develops a dysfluency. These are characterised by repeated sounds e.g. Mmmm.. mummy, prolonged sounds M----------------ummy or complete blocks. Sometimes it is merely where the child’s language is developing quickly rather than a specific disorder.

Small Talk can offer rapid assessment either to put your mind at rest, to monitor the situation or to provide treatment.
