What Is Stammering ?
Stuttering is a fluency disorder in which the smooth and forward flow of speech is disrupted. It is characterized by
- Repeating sounds, words or phrases (e.g. I I I I I can do it).
- Prolonging or stretching out sounds (e.g. Where's my sssssister?).
- Blocking (moments where no sounds come out when the person is trying to speak).
- These speech disruptions may be accompanied by struggling behaviors, such as. head movements, rapid eye blink, and facial grimacing, tremors of the lips or jaw etc,).
