Help is Available for Fluency Disorder at Find My Voice Speech Therapy in St. Pete
Fluency disorders are speech difficulties that affect the natural flow, rhythm, and pace of talking.
The two most common types: stuttering and cluttering.
Stuttering happens when a child gets "stuck" on a sound, repeats parts of a word, or has long pauses between words.
Cluttering happens when speech sounds rushed, jumbled, or hard to follow.

Is speech therapy the best option for my child with fluency disorder?
If your child is struggling with stuttering or cluttering, working with a professional speech-language pathologist is the best way to help them. At Find My Voice Speech Therapy in St. Pete, we specialize in working with children of all ages to help them build the skills and use strategies that improve stuttering and/or cluttering. Through personalized support, therapy can make speaking feel less stressful and more natural for your child.
What does the speech therapy process look like?
If your child has not already had their speech evaluated, Find My Voice Therapy Services offers a free screening to see if a full speech therapy evaluation is needed. If we recommend moving forward, the first step will be a speech evaluation. During the speech evaluation, we assess your child's fluency and communication skills and identify any areas that may need support. Based on the results, your therapist will work closely with you to create a customized treatment plan that fits your child’s unique needs. If your child does not need speech therapy but could still benefit from extra support, we also offer Parent and Caregiver Coaching. Coaching helps you build skills at home, giving your child even more opportunities to make progress in their everyday environment. This coaching is a great way to help build skills within the child’s support system so that you can facilitate your child’s continued progress.
For children with a fluency disorder such as stuttering or cluttering, therapy focuses on speech flow, building confidence, and helping them express themselves more smoothly. Each child’s treatment is personalized to address their individual fluency difficulties.

“Rachael worked with my son for quite a while. She was amazing with him. She knew just how to push him and hold him to certain expectations and then when to give him time to collect himself. He may have had favorite toys or games for therapy, but her lessons would grow and change based on what my son’s interests and needs were. She wasn’t afraid to adjust to what my son would tolerate. She was also amazing with his AAC device. She single-handedly modified and adjusted the communication device for my son’s needs and personality. She is kind, patient, and not afraid to push the kids a little out of their comfort zone. I would highly recommend her if you have a loved one who struggles to find their voice.”
