Seek out a clinician who specializes in treating stuttering

Stuttering becomes an increasingly formidable problem in the teen years as dating and social interaction begin. A qualified clinician can help not only children but also teenagers, young adults and even older adults make significant progress toward fluency. Do your research to find a speech language pathologist who is trained to help people who stutter. A list of clinicians who have been so trained is on the web site of The Stuttering Foundation of America.
