Stuttering is not a sign of nervousness or low intelligence— it’s simply a different way of speaking. With the right strategies and support, communication can feel easier and more confident.

A tip for Stuttering: Slow down your pace and take gentle breaths between phrases. This gives your words space to flow and your mind time to prepare.

If you feel like you or someone you know would like help with stuttering, please reach out to Summit Speech Therapy at 385-275-0492 or our website www.summitslp.com

For age-appropriate speech therapy, go to Summit Speech Therapy Inc in Bountiful, UT. Our dedicated speech therapists help individuals with speech problems.

Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) can feel scary — but you’re not alone, and it is treatable.
At Summit Speech Therapy, we help clients learn how to retrain their breathing, reduce throat tension, and regain confidence during everyday activities.

If you or your child experiences:

• Sudden trouble breathing in
• Tightness in the throat
• Noisy inhalation (stridor)
• Episodes triggered by exercise, stress, or irritants
•Inhalers don’t feel like they’re working

You may be dealing with VCD rather than (or combined with) asthma. Speech therapy is one of the most effective treatments.

Our therapists provide individualized strategies to help you breathe easier and feel in control again.

Speech and Language Tips for Children with Cleft Lip and Palate

Early Evaluation

Speech evaluation should begin around age 1–2, soon after palate repair, to monitor early communication milestones.

Monitor Resonance

Hypernasality is common. Regular assessments help identify velopharyngeal insufficiency, which may require therapy or surgical follow‑up.

Home Language Support

Speech modeling: Speak slowly and clearly, repeat words often, and encourage vocal play.

Use songs, rhymes, and interactive reading to build vocabulary and articulation.

Collaboration with Therapists

Feeding therapists often double as speech‑language pathologists, tracking oral‑motor development and guiding parents in daily practice.

Consistency Matters

Daily practice with short, fun activities strengthens speech skills.

Celebrate progress to build confidence and motivation.

Supporting speech and language development in children with cleft lip and palate requires early monitoring, consistent home practice, and collaboration with professionals. With these strategies, children can thrive in communication and confidence.
