Stuttering treatment in Mazatlan

Context: it usually begins in childhood, during the language development stage, and its intensity can vary depending on the situation or emotional state.

Impact: in some cases it may be accompanied by tension when speaking or discomfort in social situations.

Which professionals get involved? in addition to the speech therapist, the audiologist, the pediatrician and, when there is an emotional component, the psychologist or the psychiatrist may take part in the approach. If you notice that speech fluency affects communication, an early evaluation often makes a difference.
