Speech therapy for adults is one way that they can get help for their stuttering. The therapy is similar to what a speech-language pathologist would provide for a child or teen.
They may also have to seek psychological assistance in order for them to increase their self-esteem and self confidence. This can help them overcome they shame and fear they experience when speaking in front of other people.
It’s important for the speech-language pathologist to understand how the adult is feeling. They are already frustrated and embarrassed about the situation, and coming forth talking to a total stranger is probably one of the most difficult things they’ve ever had to do. However, since the adult is willing to seek help, it’s a good thing for them.
During speech therapy, the adult needs to express to their feelings to the speech-language pathologist. They need to know that the speech-language pathologist has their best interest at heart. The pathologist’s role in this is to help the adult understand the process of speech therapy and what it’s about.
The adult must not avoid words or phrases that can help them to overcome their stuttering. It’s important that the pathologist acts as a sounding board to help them overcome this. The adult needs to know what to expect from the therapy sessions. In order for this to work, they have to be involved in the entire process.
They should actively participate in any speech exercise that the pathologist presents to them. This will help them gain self-confidence and a sense of self-worth. Another important thing to deal with is fluency in speech. This is an important aspect in therapy.
The pathologist will have the person go through a series of exercises designed to improve their speech fluency. This is an important aspect when dealing with stuttering.
They should be learning different speech techniques, including pronouncing sounds and syllables. It may take some longer than others to actively master different speech patterns. This is not some fly-by-night procedure. It may even take adults longer to change their speech patterns and improve because they have been stuttering for so long.
