Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/14/2016 -- Stuttering is a communication disorder which disrupts a person's flow of speech. It is most common in young children who are learning to talk for the first time, but stuttering can be a lifelong battle for many adults as well. Pinpointed stuttering causes are unknown, but can be treated by certified speech-language pathologists (SLP) like the ones at this Silverlake speech therapy company. The team at LA Speech specializes in pediatric speech therapy. They have years of experience in diagnosing and treating children's stuttering.

Stuttering causes a lot of emotional and psychological problems for the estimated 70 million worldwide people who suffer with this speech disorder. About 5 percent of all children go through a period of stuttering that can last up to 6 months.  Many children grow out of this phase on their own without any help from a professional.  However, children that seem to have problems with stuttering beyond their adolescence may need intervention from a certified SLP through the Silverlake speech therapy company.

The Silverlake speech therapy provider is headed by Cassi Alter, MA-CCC, who has over 20 years of experience in the field. Alter graduated from the University of California, Berkely with a Bachelor of Arts degree before obtaining her Masters in Speech Pathology from California State University, Los Angeles. Through countless hours of clinical and work experience in speech therapy, Alter has become an expert in treating the various stuttering causes in children and adults who suffer from this debilitating communication disorder.
