My daughter is stuttering. Can stuttering be fixed?

There is a lot that can be done for stuttering. If you are in California, I can work with you remotely if you don't live close to me. Either way, really good information is available here: stutteringhelp.org
There is no "fix" for stuttering. A speech-language pathologist can provide strategies and help with the behaviors of stuttering such as repetitions, blocks, and physical concomitants.
Speech therapy is a great benefit to those that stutter. The reason for stuttering is different for everyone and is often coupled with treatment from a licensed mental health therapist as anxiety has been found to often time tie closely to stuttering.
