Types of Stuttering

Types of Stuttering

INTRODUCTION Stuttering can be said as a speech disorder that disrupts the flow of speech. You may have noticed children saying “H-H-HHOW” or “Y-Y-Y-YES”.

A child, who visibly repeats the same words or gets stuck on a particular word or prolongs sounds, syllables, and words, is said to have a stuttering problem.

Every child might stutter while learning to communicate with people, but the problem goes away upon practice. But, it continues in some children, causing troubles in their social life as it is difficult for them to interact with others.

If you see any symptoms of stuttering in children, better consult an experienced speech therapist to get a clearer vision. Look out for:

Repeated words, sounds, or syllables Halting/slow speech production Unusual rate of speech
