  • We believe that stuttering is a complex multidimensional disorder best treated by a multifaceted approach. Due to the nature of stuttering, it is important for therapy to consider individual needs. The CSTP is designed to provide therapy in a semi-structured format that addresses various aspects of stuttering while paying attention to individual needs. The program addresses various unhelpful reactions to stuttering on an individual level to help promote healthy acceptance of stuttering and develop the skills necessary to deal with various real-life situations independently. Over the course of the program, individual needs will be identified and prioritized. Success looks different for each person, so the ultimate goal of the CSTP is to help each person become comfortable with their stuttering and develop a repertoire of effective communication skills that serve their needs.
