CHSC offers a year-round therapy program called “Stuttering Together”. It is designed for older children and young teens who stutter and want to communicate more effectively and confidently.
Children and teens in the Stuttering Together program participate in three individualized therapy sessions per month targeting their individual goals. At the end of the month, they attend one group session with everyone enrolled in the program. The group session allows participants the opportunity to get to know other children/teens who stutter, talk about how stuttering impacts their lives and practice talking in real-life situations. The group will take outings to restaurants and Cleveland area attractions as a way to practice communication skills and build confidence in talking to strangers in real-life situations.
Teens who have been involved in Stuttering Together said: “It is so much fun… I have learned a lot from the group and love meeting other kids who stutter… I feel more confident when I talk and I’m not afraid to stutter anymore.”
FREE “Stuttering Together” Summer Day Camp
During the summer, there is an opportunity to attend a weeklong day camp for older children and young teens who stutter. Held at the CHSC University Circle location, it is a great way for kids who stutter to meet other kids who stutter as well as gain knowledge about stuttering, have a safe space to talk about stuttering and how it impacts their lives, learn advocacy skills, and build resilience. Stuttering Together summer day camp has fun activities for the kids to participate in as well as various therapy activities (individual and group therapy) and opportunities to practice communication skills with various people in the surrounding community. The campers will practice their skills in real-life situations at restaurants and attractions local to University Circle.
“Stuttering Together” Summer Day Camp is FREE to attend but space is limited on a first-come, first-serve basis.
