Finding The Right Stuttering Treatment Tucson

By Lisa Williamson


Stuttering is a condition that affects speech patterns. While it is commonly something people associate with children it is something that can affect adults as well. For people with the condition it can affect their self confidence. Fortunately there are a number of different types of Stuttering treatment Tucson available.

There are various theories as to what actually causes a person to stutter. Genetics are considered to be a factor as over half of people who have a stutter will typically have a family member who stutters as well. If someone has another form of speech problem then they may have a stutter as well.

Another theory is that for some people they have a different process in the brain. The first signs generally tend to show when the baby is around 18 to 24 months old. In effect this can mean the way the muscles and the brain interact make it hard to form normal speech patterns.

The problem is that for some people they do not grow out of it. There are various theories as to why this might be the case. A common theory is that the condition is genetic with over half of people who stutter having at least one family member who either has the condition or had the condition when they were younger.

Another theory is that speech patterns can be affected by the brain. In this instance the theory is that the muscles do not react to instructions from the brain. This then means that the person who stutters struggles to be able to form words in a way that someone with different speech patterns would be able to do due to this disconnection.

It should also be remembered that stuttering is not limited to children. While a lot of people stop stuttering when they reach adulthood this is not always the case. This may mean that they need more advanced treatment and need the help of a speech language pathologist or another specialist consultant.

They may also suggest other forms of treatment that you may not necessarily have considered and may seem unusual. For example a lot of people who stutter when they speak do not stutter when they sing. This may sound strange but singing can be an effective way to help people reduce the amount they stutter. If they sing as part of a choir then there is also the added benefit of being part of a social group and becoming more self confident as a result of increased social interaction.

You can find numerous guides on how to treat your stutter online as well as websites and details of pathologists and other consultants who can treat the condition. It is best to see people in person as often as possible as you can gauge for yourself whether or not what they have to offer is relevant to your personal needs. With the right approach you can find the right people to help you treat your stutter.
