Initial consultation

Here are a few things you might like to know before our first appointment:

  • I provide stuttering assessment during our first appointment.

  • I’ll ask lots of questions to understand how stuttering presents.

  • I’ll listen to the stuttering and measure it; we’ll reference this against other times and situations.

  • I’ll explain the cause and nature of stuttering.

  • We’ll discuss treatments, including their aims, and I’ll make recommendations about treatment and the timing of treatment.

  • You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the appointment.

  • Assessment is an integral part of the treatment process too, to ensure we are making progress.
