Thank you for your response. Yes what you are saying is pretty much what our private SLP has been saying. Daughter goes to a center where she was getting OT, but also offers speech, so she has been doing a sort of combination treatment where OT will do heavy work and sensory work before practicing speech to try to help her calm down and focus. Private SLP says she worries about her “becoming aware” of the fluency issue because that can lead to more direct frustration and anxiety around it which makes it worse. Versus her school speech they explicitly talk to her about getting stuck and practicing ‘smooooooth’ speech. So since they’re saying kind of opposite things, and the private speech/OT center thinks the type of work she’s getting in school might be detrimental, I’m now trying to wrap my head around it! Re how do we respond, I try my best to be low pressure and let her finish, not acknowledge the non fluency. However she is often very long winded and I do occasionally find myself interrupting her or trying to fill in the blank, so to speak. I know that’s not ideal, we are working on that
