What is "stuttering"?
Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized by disruptions in the flow of speech, which can manifest as repetitions of sounds, syllables, or words, prolongations of sounds, or pauses that disrupt communication. Individuals who stutter may experience difficulty starting words or sentences, leading to frustration and anxiety about speaking. Stuttering can vary in severity and may be influenced by factors such as stress or excitement. While it commonly begins in childhood, it can persist into adulthood for some individuals. Treatment often involves speech therapy, which focuses on techniques to improve fluency and build confidence in communication.
