Stuttering after beginning to speak

[Guest guest]

My 3 1/2 y.o. is apraxic and responded very well to our interventions.

It all seemed to be going so well but now we are experiencing

stuttering. Not the normal word stutter but with sentences. She gets

midstream and seems to forget what she was going to say. She'll just

keep repeating the first part until she can get the other part out.

It's hard when others aren't as patient as family and encourage her to

'spit it out'. I know it frustrates her when people finish her

sentence or look to Mommy to figure out what she just said. She is

far exceeding our expectations and the therapist stopped therapy 3

months ago for fear of her stuttering if she had any pressure to move

forward. She has two older siblings that she has to really fight hard

to get a word in which contributes to this as well. Any suggestions

of some simple practices I could do with her to help her get her

thoughts out fluently? I homeschool so we don't have any classroom

pressures.

Blessings,

Tara E.

TLP might help. There is a stuttering device that attaches to the ear

that helps.
