SAGE Speech & Learning is the ONLY practice in Georgia that is trained and certified to provide the Lidcombe Program for stuttering. Stuttering therapy in Atlanta is scarce, and much of it not based in solid evidence. SAGE Speech offers stuttering therapy in Atlanta for children in preschool and older.
The Lidcombe Program is a direct, behavioral program for stuttering therapy. It has the largest and strongest evidence base of all direct stuttering treatments for preschool aged children. The program is ideal for ages 3-6, but can be done successfully with children older than 6 and into elementary school.
My daughter goes to school in Dunwoody, and we are SO PLEASED with the team at SAGE Speech! We have an incredibly experienced speech language pathologist who travels to our home! My daughter immediately took to her and her approach is just what we needed.
I love you Saren and the SAGE Speech team! We live in Sandy Springs and D. is so lucky you were able to come to our home and school for speech language therapy! You opened up the doors of communication for our son with severe apraxia...
Thank you to the incredible speech language pathologist on the SAGE Speech team! You showed us our son could “talk” while we waited for his voice to catch up with him. Your speech pathologists in Sandy Springs are top notch and I am so thankful we had the chance to work together.
The SAGE team have worked closely with my family throughout our journey with our son, Jordon. He was diagnosed with dyslexia and a severe Articulation disorder. She has provided top-notch therapy, many hours of training for my husband and I, and incredible results for our son.
When you notice your child is stuttering, seek out professional advice immediately from a speech therapist who specializes in stuttering. Stuttering can sometimes disappear within 3-6 months of onset. Let the therapist monitor your child to be sure stuttering therapy is started as soon as your child needs it. Your stuttering therapist may recommend waiting 3 months and checking back in. However, based on known risk factors, your stuttering therapist may recommend beginning treatment immediately.
Sometimes my child stutters, and sometimes they dont"¦
This is the nature of stuttering. Oftentimes, stuttering can be worse day to day, week to week, or situation to situation. Do not wait more than 6 months to seek treatment, as the effectiveness of treatment goes down significantly the longer you wait. Take video of your child when they stutter, this will help your stuttering therapist during your first office visit.
