	Speech-Language Therapy
		Speech-language therapy is the treatment for most children with speech and/or language disorders.

		Speech-language therapy involves having a speech-language specialist work with a child on a one-to-one basis, in a small group or directly in a classroom, to overcome difficulties involved with a specific disorder.

	Why Speech Therapy
		Once you've completed the evaluation process, the speech pathologist will explain your results to you and then the two of you will begin thinking about the length of time that you can expect to be in therapy and how often it should be scheduled.
		Therapy length and amount needed depend on your goals, the type of therapy itself, and the severity of the stuttering handicap.
		It's important to ask about stuttering therapy in particular because many insurance companies will pay for speech therapy that is restorative (i.e., after a stroke or brain injury), but may not pay for stuttering therapy when it's viewed as a chronic speech disability.
