However, stuttering that persists for more than 3 months may require speech therapy to improve the fluency of speech<\/li>\n<li>Symptoms of stuttering may include difficulties in starting a word, phrase or sentence, prolonging a word or a sound within a word, repetition of a sound, syllable or word, or pauses within a word or between phrases. Stuttering may also be accompanied by some secondary behaviors, e.g. rapid eye blinks, tremors of the lips or jaw, or other unrelated body movements. If stuttering persists, it may affect a person\u2019s psychosocial status.<\/li>\n<li>Speech therapists deliver individualized treatments according to an individual\u2019s abilities. Parental involvement is essential. We also provide training to parents so that therapy can be continued at home.<\/li>\n<li>Adult fluency of speech training focuses on how to generalize the skills to daily and occupational conversations.<\/li>\n<li>Depending on the needs and abilities of an individual, our speech therapists use different approaches or methods to improve his\/her fluency of speech e.g.\n<ul>\n<li>Lidcombe Program for childhood stuttering<\/li>\n<li>Camperdown Program for stuttering in adults and adolescents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"nusafe-spacer clearfix\" data-desktop=\"0\" data-mobi=\"30\" data-smobi=\"30\"><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;
