Abstract
This article examines the effectiveness of collaborative work between pedagogical psychologists and speech therapists in supporting the adaptation of children who stutter. Stuttering often creates emotional, social, and communicative challenges that can hinder a child’s integration into educational environments. A coordinated, interdisciplinary approach enables specialists to address the multifaceted nature of stuttering by combining psychological support, speech correction techniques, and individualized developmental strategies. The study highlights how cooperative intervention enhances children’s emotional stability, communication confidence, and social participation, ultimately contributing to more successful adaptation outcomes.
