Speech therapy is a great benefit to those that stutter. The treatment is different for everyone depending on their difficulties. The reason for stuttering is different for everyone and is often coupled with treatment from a licensed mental health therapist as anxiety has been found to often time tie closely to stuttering.
Greetings,
Have her slow down when she is speaking. Doing so will help her think about what she is trying to say before saying it. I hope this helps.

Speech Pathologists provide treatment of fluency disorders "stuttering" by using a variety of strategies and counseling with both the child and family. Because self-esteem is intricately tied to stuttering, it's important to address how the child feels about their stuttering. In addition, families often have emotional baggage tied to their child's stuttering. It's important to set expectations. For more information, please contact a Speech-Language Pathologist.
