STUTTERING
WHAT IS STUTTERING?
A child with a stuttering disorder produces speech which is characterized with disruptions of speech sounds called "disfluencies". It begins during childhood and, in some cases, lasts throughout life. We all produce some disfluencies from time to time (i.e. repeating a word or interjecting "um" or "uh" when speaking). It can become a problem when we produce too many.
