Early Childhood Stuttering Therapy

Specialized Treatment for Toddlers, Preschoolers, and Young Children

For stuttering in young children ages 2 through 7, speech therapy requires a different approach. Using proven, research-backed programs with parent coaching as the foundation, I give you the strategies to support your child in their communication development. Together, we’ll build a plan that is effective and centered around your child’s unique needs. In-home and virtual services available in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, and consultations available virtually.

Hello!

I’m Natalie, a speech-language pathologist with over a decade of experience treating stuttering across the lifespan. In addition to drawing from my clinical expertise and personal experience with stuttering, I’m trained in the Lidcombe Program, Restart-DCM, and Palin-PCI. I’ve helped families just like yours navigate the early days of their child’s stuttering. I understand how overwhelming it can be when your child starts to stutter, and I want to give you the tools to feel confident supporting them. Let’s figure out the next step together.
