Treatment of Stuttering in Children at Soul & Body Center

Effective Stuttering Treatment in Kyiv!

Humans communicate with each other through language. And if there are problems with it, they extend to a higher level – the social one. One of the common speech disorders is stuttering, or scientifically known as logoneurosis. According to statistics, approximately 4% of the child population and about 2% of adults are prone to it.

Ages 2-5: The Most Challenging Period in Language Development for Children

This age range is when children most often begin to stutter. Boys are three times more likely to have this speech disorder than girls. Typically, the youngest children are most affected, and adults who stutter are those who did not receive qualified help in childhood. Experts claim that the earlier one starts working on improving speech, the better and faster the results come.

At the Soul & Body clinic, we are ready to provide assistance to children and their parents in overcoming this unpleasant condition.

Why Did the Child Start Stuttering?

Doctors consider several reasons that lead to logoneurosis. Among the most common are:

– Genetic factors.
– Tendency to anxiety.
– Dysfunction of the brain.
– Nervous environment.
– Birth traumas.
– Severe fright.
– Past infectious diseases.
– High demands on the child, causing fear of not meeting them.
– Information overload.

When a child stutters, over time, they begin to realize that they are different from other children, become introverted, and have difficulty adapting in a group setting.

Types and Symptoms of Logoneurosis

Modern classification of stuttering manifestations identifies several types of the disorder:

– Clonic: repetition of syllables and individual sounds.
– Tonic: long pauses in speech caused by muscle spasms.
– Combined: a combination of symptoms from the two named types.

It is best to get rid of stuttering before the child becomes a school-aged. Stuttering in preschool children is treated by a speech therapist, although it is not excluded that consultation with a pediatrician, psychologist, psychotherapist may be necessary, and massage, physiotherapy, and therapeutic exercises may be required. The specific treatment methods depend directly on the type of logoneurosis, so a thorough examination is necessary.

As we can see, it is logical to start treating the condition at an early age (2-5 years old), but there is no need to despair, as with the right approach and a highly individualized treatment program, older patients (6-9 years old, adolescents) also significantly improve their pronunciation.
