Stuttering
-
Most Children start stuttering between the ages of 2 and 5 years.
-
The exact cause of stuttering is unknown.
-
Stuttering is more common in boys than girls.
-
If a child already stutters they may stutter more when tired, nervous, angry, when being rushed to express themselves and when trying to be heard over people.
-
Some children may recover naturally without therapy, however this is hard to predict. For this reason it is recommended that you seek advice from a speech pathologist.
-
Research shows that children who receive therapy as a preschooler have better outcomes than older people.
