Looking for resources to help my 4 year old son who stutters

Looking for resources to help my 4 year old son who stutters I’ve been supporting my son, who is now 4 years old, struggle with stuttering since he was 2 years old. We’ve been through the public system, with an SLP. Not sure it has helped, his journey with stuttering has been up and down, and right now I feel he is becoming more aware of his stuttering. He has developed more secondary behaviours, and tension in his face while he speaks. Watching him struggle to speak breaks my heart. As he’s outgrown the public system, we’re looking at private options. I just want to do whatever I can to support him to communicate freely and be confident. Ideally I’d want an SLP in the Toronto area that we can work with directly, who has expertise and experience working with young children who stutter. The literature suggests getting help at this age is critical. I would benefit greatly from others who have used SLPs in Toronto for their young kids and found success, or have resources that could be help. Many thanks in advance for your help and kindness as I look to navigate this journey as a parent of a child who stutters. Much love ❤️
