When my child started stuttering they said “just wait and see”...
But that didn’t work!
“It was the suddenness that scared me most. One day he was speaking perfectly, the next he could barely say his own name.”
I’ll never forget the fear and uncertainty on the face of the mother who told me this…
When her son started stuttering, both her husband and doctor told her to just “wait and see”.
At first she waited, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was doing something wrong.
So she tried to book speech therapy, but instead of the help she needed, she sat helplessly on a waitlist while her little boy continued struggled to speak each day and she lay awake every night, anxious and guilty, feeling she was failing him.
When she finally made it to her long awaited appointment, the therapist told her the words she’d been dreading: “Stuttering is permanent. We can only help him manage it.”
Heartbroken, she began searching for another way. She just couldn’t shake the conviction that her son could return to the fluency he once had.
And she was right …
Stuttering in young children can be effectively treated, you just need the right approach, techniques and knowledge!
I’ve seen it again and again.
Over the last two decades, I’ve helped hundreds of parents who once felt anxious and powerless, worried about a future of bullying and low self esteem, finally understand what’s really happening beneath their child’s stuttering.
Best of all, I’ve helped these families support their child’s stutter effectively from home without waiting months for costly therapy.
That’s because I discovered a secret most speech therapists don’t yet know…
Most children who stutter are also highly sensitive...
and their speech is directly affected by nervous system regulation.
For years, I worked with children who stuttered using the methods I was trained in, rigid, highly structured programs that produced progress that was, unfortunately, short-lived.
No matter how carefully I applied the techniques, progress was always disrupted by something outside our control:
- a new school year
- a new sibling
- stress at home
- illness, injury or even
- a family holiday.
Inevitably, the stutter would return, and it felt like I was failing these children.

When I started looking more closely at these “setbacks” however, I realised they weren’t random, they were linked to nervous system sensitivity.
Through research and experience, I discovered that most children who stutter are highly sensitive, and their fluency is directly impacted by their nervous system state.
That insight changed everything.
Stuttering isn’t just a genetic or motor planning issue, it’s a sign of a sensitive nervous system that needs our help.
This is why I created Fluency Foundations, so parents can finally access an integrative, holistic approach that supports the whole child, not just their fluency, to finally see lasting progress that traditional therapy alone can’t achieve.
Fluency Foundations is the only stuttering solution that addresses stuttering from a nervous system perspective.
Other treatments focus on acceptance, demand reduction, or motor-based fluency practice but they all miss the essential piece…
The child’s temperament and nervous system.
Fluency Foundations combines therapeutic stuttering techniques with nervous system regulation, helping families go deeper to address the true root cause of stuttering and create lasting change.
Instead of treating the symptom, Fluency Foundations addresses the underlying cause.
Traditional therapy often gives parents mixed and limiting messages about what’s possible for your child. Depending on the therapist’s training, you might hear that stuttering…
- Must be “fixed” quickly or it will become permanent,
- Will improve simply by making environmental adjustments or worst of all…
- Can only be managed but never resolved.
But none of these perspectives tell the full story.
With Fluency Foundations stuttering can improve, often dramatically, when we work with the root cause. Together, we calm the system so fluency can flow naturally and last.
Still feeling unsure? You’re not alone.
If you’re confused by all the conflicting information about stuttering, believe me, I get it.
Many parents I work with feel the same way at first. They’ve been told so many different things that it’s hard to know what’s true or where to start.

“Everyone says it will go away on its own.”
This belief comes from the fact that some stutters do disappear naturally. But when stuttering is linked to nervous system dysregulation, it can return at any time when stress or change triggers the system again. That’s why understanding the root cause matters.
“We’re already in speech therapy.
I don’t want to pay for more.”
I completely understand. But traditional approaches often don’t create lasting change because they focus only on the speech itself, not what’s driving the stutter underneath. Fluency Foundations is specifically designed to complement speech therapy it by helping you address the missing piece that helps progress finally stick.
“I don’t want to do this myself.
I’d rather a professional
handle it.”
The truth is, all effective stuttering therapy is parent-led. Your child’s best progress happens at home, in moments of safety and connection. Fluency Foundations simply gives you the tools, structure, and confidence to guide your child, with professional support every day, every step of the way.
It breaks my heart to see sensitive children being unnecessarily misunderstood, missed, or dismissed, to watch their early windows for healing close.
I’m Lauren Conley, an Australian-trained Speech Pathologist and I’m also a highly sensitive person… it’s what drew me to this work in the first place.
It’s also what helps me notice the patterns others miss, the subtle signs of stress and sensitivity that sit underneath the surface of stuttering. Combining that innate awareness with years of training and clinical experience to help children find lasting fluency.
My “why” is deeply personal. It breaks my heart to see sensitive children, (just like I once was), being misunderstood, missed, or dismissed, to watch their early windows for healing close.
These children are statistically the most at risk for negative experiences, and I feel called to stand between them and those outcomes.
You’re in the right place if your child is stuttering and you’re ready for the solution.
Fluency Foundations is a highly effective treatment for children who stutter.
It’s designed for parents who want to go deeper than quick fixes and who are ready to understand and address the root cause of their child’s stuttering.
What other parents have to say
“Since completing Fluency Foundations, my daughter is more relaxed and happy, and my new understanding of how to support highly sensitive children has made me a more compassionate parent. I would strongly recommend this program to any parent of a child who stutters. It’s a comprehensive, holistic approach that combines the science and neurology of stuttering with practical tools, games, and exercises.”
“The content is so insightful. It gave us the tools to better understand and support our 4-year-old, and it’s given me a much deeper appreciation of his world and personality. I’m so grateful for Fluency Foundations.”
“The course has educated and equipped us with tools and confidence to support our child. The insights go far beyond fluency, helping us nurture his overall wellbeing.”
“This program truly was the missing link for us.”

Unlike traditional therapy, Fluency Foundations helps you address the root cause of stuttering.
As a member, you will discover how your child’s brain and nervous system work.
You will receive practical tools for building the internal conditions for stutter free speech.
You will enjoy the confidence of knowing exactly what to do to help your child speak smoothly and easily.
You may have been told to “wait and see.”
You may have tried weekly therapy, only to watch progress disappear between sessions.
You may have used techniques that focused only on speech, not on the sensitive nervous system underneath it.
These approaches are not designed for highly sensitive children and they do not address the root causes of stuttering.
The cost of waiting is real. Stuttering can become more established over time, children may withdraw socially and parents are left unsure of what to do next.
There is a better way.
“I’m forever grateful for your membership. I now understand my sensitive child and feel confident to help him in our daily lives.”

Helping sensitive children who stutter is my personal mission.
I have seen how distressing it is for families to be told to wait and see or left without clear guidance. I created Fluency Foundations so parents would finally have support that makes sense and makes a difference.
This is the support I wish every family had from the beginning.
With Fluency Foundations, you can begin supporting your child immediately, without the waitlists, the inconsistent progress or the high cost of ongoing private sessions.
Working privately with a speech pathologist often costs between $200 and $250 per hour.
To receive the same level of guidance contained inside Fluency Foundations would cost over $3,500 if delivered one to one.
Fluency Foundations gives you everything in one place for $99 USD per month, with no lock in contract. You can stay for as long as you need support.
Early support matters. When stuttering continues without the right guidance, it can become harder for children to manage and more stressful for families. Starting now gives your child the best chance for long term progress.
