Fluency Disorders

Stuttering is a speech fluency disorder that causes disruptions in the flow of speech, such as repeating sounds (“b-b-b-ball”), stretching out sounds (“ssssnake”), or getting stuck on a word. In children, stuttering can lead to frustration or embarrassment when answering questions in class or talking to peers. Some children may try to avoid speaking altogether. Adults who stutter may experience anxiety in workplace meetings, phone calls, or public speaking situations, which can impact confidence and career growth.
