Private Speech Therapy For Children with stuttering

---

Stuttering is when the flow of speech is disrupted by 

• repetitions of sounds, syllables and/or words (e.g., “A buh-buh-butterfly”)
• prolongations of sounds (e.g., “There is a sssssnake.”)
• blocks (e.g., pauses) 

For some children, stuttering may also be accompanied by extraneous movements like eye blinking. 

Stuttering tends to emerge between the age of 2 to 5 years old in children. Although natural recovery can occur for some, it is not possible to predict who can recover without any treatment. Research has shown that early intervention through speech therapy is crucial as there is a higher chance of recovery if stuttering treatment for children is initiated before 6 years old.
