How can Speech & Language Therapy help?<\/h3>\n

At the University, we work using the stammering and cluttering guidance 2025 from The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists.<\/p>\n

Therapy will involve working in partnership with the client to jointly work towards goals for change<\/strong>. It will involve supporting the client to gain an in-depth understanding of their stammering<\/strong> and their responses to it<\/strong>. It will include exploring the influence speaking environments and society have had on the impact of their stammering. Therapy may involve working towards reducing concealment of stammering<\/strong> and moving towards less effortful, easier communication.<\/strong> Therapy may sometimes involve working directly on speech change.<\/p>\n

What do we do?<\/h3>\n
