PARENTAL PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT IN THE TREATMENT OF STUTTERING: EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES" (PARENTAL PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT AND ITS ROLE IN THE TREATMENT OF STUTTERING.)

This study explores the role of parental psychological support in the treatment of stuttering, emphasizing how effective parental involvement can positively influence therapeutic outcomes. Stuttering, a speech disorder that disrupts normal speech flow, not only affects the child’s communication but can also have significant emotional and psychological consequences. While speech therapy remains a cornerstone of stuttering treatment, parental psychological support has been recognized as a critical factor in helping children manage emotional challenges and foster a positive therapeutic environment. This research investigates various strategies parents can employ to provide emotional, psychological, and behavioral support during treatment, focusing on communication techniques, reinforcement, and emotional encouragement. The findings aim to highlight how a supportive family environment can enhance a child’s ability to cope with stuttering, improve treatment adherence, and promote long-term success in overcoming speech difficulties.
