Most treatment interventions for communication disorders have been primarily studied in children. However, some evidence suggests that adults with communication disorders can benefit from treatment as well, especially if that treatment primarily focuses on managing (rather than overcoming) symptoms. An adult who stutters, for example, can work with a speech-language pathologist to develop strategies for managing stuttering-related anxiety or prepare for situations where stuttering most frequently occurs. Adults with communication disorders may also benefit from support groups, where they can talk to others about how their communication disorder affects their life and what they’ve done to cope.
