Stuttering Therapy for Adults
Speechaus provides stuttering therapy for adults Australia-wide; from centre to coast.
What is Stuttering? Or…Cluttering?
Stuttering is an interruption in the flow of speaking characterised by specific types of disfluencies, including repetitions of sounds, syllables, words, and/or phrases, prolongations of sounds, or having a ‘block’ where no sound or word is produced.
Stuttering is more than just disfluencies. Stuttering also may include tension and negative feelings about talking. It may get in the way of how you talk to others. You may want to hide your stuttering. So, you may avoid certain words or situations. For example, you may not want to talk on the phone if that makes you stutter more.’
Cluttering is another fluency disorder, characterised by a perceived rapid and/or irregular speech rate, atypical pauses, deletion/collapsing of syllables, excessive levels of disfluencies, maze behaviours or frequent topic shifting, and language formulation difficulties.
Learn Evidence-Based Therapy Methods for Stuttering
Speechaus is a team of speech pathologists who are very passionate about providing advocacy and support services for adults who stutter in a manner that empowers and affirms your communication strengths and participation.
Our clinicians are trained to provide holistic stuttering and cluttering management, meaning that we tailor our approaches depending on what your goals are.
The first step in starting your fluency therapy at Speechaus is the Diagnostic Stuttering Assessment. This involves a thorough assessment into stuttering behaviours present as well as evaluation of core communication environments impacted by the presence of stuttering behaviours and even vocal function where required.
Your assessment will occur online, we want to ensure that quality stuttering therapy is available to you no matter where you’re based geographically in Australia.
SPEECHAUS’ exclusive focus on adult patients allows us to offer approachable and inspiring sessions that foster a sense of well-being and self-assurance.
Our Values
Advocacy
We advocate for everyone’s right to be heard irrespective of their communication barriers, identity, diagnosis, geographic location, language background or social status.
Experience
Since our time on earth is limited, we believe that all experiences, especially clinical/ therapy experiences should balance challenges with enjoyment. We are agile and strive to create engaging experiences for your communication and speaking goals that are more likely to stimulate concrete outcomes.
Empowerment
We believe that focusing on building strengths, even in the face of communication barriers and disadvantage, is the only way to transform lives.
Diagnostic Stuttering Assessment
The First Step to Stuttering Therapy
$250
Individually tailored clinical stuttering assessment undertaken by one of our speech pathologists.
In this appointment, our clinicians will collaborate with you to find out your exact goals and expectations so that you leave with a clear management plan that best addresses your needs.
Every assessment includes:
- Case history interview to determine the history of the fluency/ stuttering disorder and impacts.
- Assessment into core communication environments impacted by the presence of stuttering behaviours.
- Careful consideration of your current communication needs, workplace setting, career aspirations, areas of concern.
- Correspondence with your General Practitioner – if desired.
✪ The session fee includes written correspondence with medical practitioners, analysis of our findings and planning of your therapy sessions.
This fee does not include a report, which you may request in addition. Due to the time involved in writing a comprehensive report, an extra fee will apply. Please advise your clinician if you would like a report.
We are often requested to provide documentation for employers or board exams (IELTS, PTE, TESOL) or law courts to advocate for your speaking and confirm your diagnosis. This is something we are very willing to provide you with if our findings indicate the need. Depending on the service required, a separate fee may be billed.
Please allow 45 minutes for this session.
If you have questions about this service, please contact our helpful reception team.
What methods do we use for Adult Stuttering Therapy at Speechaus?
Many of our clients choose a hybrid approach – including the use of speech restructuring (such as prolonged speech / smooth speech and the Camperdown method) techniques to speak fluently as well as everyday communication strategies (including self-advocacy) to benefit overall communication.
For cluttering therapy, you may learn to apply speech modification strategies which are effective to improve speech clarity and fluency.
Most importantly, we hone in on all relevant aspects of your communication (not just fluency!) to achieve optimal outcomes, so that you are able to say WHAT you want to say, WHEN you want to say it.
At Speechaus we’re committed to customising your treatment pathway to your advantage at your request, as we acknowledge that communication is more than just fluency.
