How can you help your child who stutters over telehealth…

Lori Melnitsky

During these stressful times stuttering can increase. Even in a pandemic stuttering can be helped.   Despite homework and chaos, children deserve to communicate. If your child is stuttering several things can be done to get them help. These include:

  1. Reduce questions…comment more..

  2. Allow more time to speak..pause before answering

  3. Do not interrupt

  4. Do not allow them to interrupt you

  5. Help them phrase out your words…

  6. Positive praise

  7. Take turns

  8. Keep good eye contact
