Hi Kelli, I just have to say how fantastic your two stutter videos are, especially the one during covid. I don't have children, but would love to see more adult stutter videos. I understand that may not fit with your channel, but I had to mention how valuable those vidoes are. Thank you

Hey Andrew, adult stuttering therapies may include recording yourself while reading or speaking, Pause and Phrase, and Breathing Practice. 😊

I recently made a video on my KZbin and TikTok Channels on therapy strategies for adults who stutter.

Hello Ms. Kelly, I had a question. I know most of your content is geared towards children however, I was wondering whenever you free have time is it possible you could produce additional content That helps young adults with stuttering? I'm a 28 year old that has had a speech impediment my entire life and I desperately want to put a end to it. I saw some of your previous videos on stuttering that helps young adults to and I think it was great and I would like to learn more.

Great topic. There are definitely a lot of resources for stuttering in young adults. Did you have access to speech fluency (stuttering) therapy as a child? What strategies have you tried? There may be some more effective strategies that your therapists haven’t tried with you😊

Can i purchase one if these to use with my grandson? If so, can you help me out with that? Thank you so much.

He will probably have to get an AAC assessment with a speech therapist. They can see if AAC would be good for him and if so, what type and program. Then can provide training and treatment as well. I also recommended checking what is all needed with your insurance. You may also be able to go through the school.

[@leannanderson2684]

@Sophie-kn3gh thank you. He see a speech therapist buy only 1 day a week right now and only for half an hour. He is enrolled in the early childhood education through his school and goes 4 days a week. I think he has apraxia by watching these videos but he has not been diagnosed with anything. Can his speech therapist diagnosis that?

Hi! Yes, SLPs can diagnose apraxia & yes, you can purchase this app from Saltillo at touchchatapp.com/ and download to any device!
