Stuttering
Stuttering is a disorder that affects the fluency
of speech. Occasional disfluencies are normal
and experienced by all speakers. Many young
children go through a
normal developmental stage of stuttering. The cause of stuttering is unknown.
A person who stutters cannot "help" that they stutter. It is a disorder
just like allergies or asthma. A person who stutters will always be a person
who stutters. However, the person who stutters may seek out the help of a speech
language pathologist to learn techniques to decrease stuttering and improve self-image
and confidence. If you or your child stutters, please contact your primary provider
or speech language pathologist for consultation.
