Stuttering Therapy

Stuttering & Speech Therapy focuses on building communication skills and confidence to help overcome the burden of stuttering.

Speech & Language

We offer simple, fuss-free and direct speech and language services that complement school services or keep progress moving.

Teletherapy

Teletherapy services are available for Indiana residents interested in specialized stuttering or speech and language therapy treatment.

We could not be more excited about the progress our son has made since seeing Dana Stewart at Stuttering and Speech Therapy! He had been receiving services somewhere else for years with little progression and after he began seeing Dana we saw tremendous improvement. The school was so impressed at his advancement over the summer by seeing Dana.

Dana has helped my son in so many ways. He loves going to therapy each week and activities she’s organized with peers. She’s helped grow his confidence and helped our whole family know more about stuttering.

I contacted Dana in regards to my increasing concerns regarding my son’s speech. She was able to quickly return my call, discuss over the phone my questions/concerns and schedule an evaluation/assessment within a week from our phone call. Dana is very knowledgeable and made me and my son feel at ease during the evaluation process. She went over in detail the results and recommendations. He is becoming more secure and confident each session. He also enjoyed the outing scheduled for peers his age at a doughnut game cafe. I am very thankful to have found Dana with Stuttering and Speech Therapy Services.

"I work as a Speech-Language Pathologist in a school district and although I have the know-how regarding fluency I found it was completely different working with my own child than one of my students. There was so much frustration on both ends and I knew I needed to step back into my "mom" role rather than therapist. When I decided to seek private therapy, I knew Dana was the one to call. As a professional, I had received only positive feedback from families who had worked with her. Now, with my son as one of her clients and I can absolutely attest that she is the best around in the field of stuttering. She has been and continues to be so helpful to our family. She is so knowledgeable and each session we soak up all of her feedback. My son also participates in a monthly community group with her along with similar aged peers who also stutter. She truly designs sessions and programs to meet a child's need. If you have any concerns regarding fluency I encourage you reach out to her!"

Dana is amazing! I’ve struggled with a stutter all my life and have been afraid to confront it for a long time. When I finally decided to reach out, Dana was a great listener and very sympathetic. Throughout our sessions, she not only helped with speaking strategies but also discussed the effect my stutter has had on different aspects of my life. She always left the choice of what I wanted to focus on to me, as she understands the importance of individualized treatment. After doing speech therapy with Dana, my self confidence has increased and I don’t feel like my stutter has control over my life anymore. This was all due to Dana’s guidance, strategies, kindness, and care.

As an adult patient of Dana Stewart, I can testify that I've experienced a huge boost of confidence in speaking since I started going to therapy a few months ago. I've stuttered my whole life and was always told that I would "grow out of it." Growing tired and frustrated that I seemingly could not communicate in certain social situations I decided to start going to therapy. I've learned different techniques to get through a stutter and developed a different mindset on how to approach it. I would recommend Dana to any adult that consciously thinks about their stutter!

Working with Dana has been extremely convenient with my busy and fluctuating work schedule. The option between an in-office session or a zoom call really eliminates the stress of leaving work during a hectic day. Virtual appointments are great for accountability and ensuring I stay on track with the development plan, and Dana provides exceptional care both in-office and virtually. Dana is a wonderful therapist and has been tremendous for my personal and professional growth.

"I have known the owner, Dana for years and she has helped me tremendously with my stuttering journey. Without Dana, I would not be where I am today. As someone who has been in and out of speech therapy, Dana was the first person to show me that it is ok to stutter. Stuttering can be so isolating sometimes but with Dana she has showed me that I am never alone. I am forever thankful for Dana, she is truly the best SLP I've ever had!"

Empowering clients to communicate with confidence. A client/family-centered approach to stuttering and speech and language disorders.

💬We had just completed all the words for a silly fill-in-the-blank story (like Mad Libs) about stuttering.

💬I was getting ready to read the completed story out loud when one of my group member’s arms shot up into the air while he blurted out “Ooh! Ooh Can I read it out loud?!” I hadn’t even planned on that, but I absolutely loved that he eagerly volunteered!

💬Right after he asked to read out loud, two more hands shot up into the air with overlapping verbal requests to “I want to read it!” And “Pick me to read!”

💬This was success on so many levels…volunteering to read out loud in front of peers can be difficult for many people who stutter. These kids conquered it with confidence…they felt safe to stutter and read in front of this special group…it didn’t take an adult to prompt them to do so-they eagerly jumped in to take that opportunity!…by seeing their peer who stutters volunteer, the other two realized they can do it too!

💬Not all members volunteered to read out loud that day. And that was ok! I hadn’t even considered it as an option initially! But they saw other kids who stutter get up and do it. How might that impact them next opportunity, I wonder?

💬And this. This is why I do these groups. To foster kids’ confidence in communication.

💬Check out my previous post for details about how to join in!
