Stuttering, aka fluency disorder, is much more common than most people realize,
Children acquire language as a natural part of development, but there are several things that can impede this process, such as: hearing impairment, physical or emotional trauma, learning disorders, autism, articulation disorders, dyslexia, and social/familial factors. In each of these circumstances, a speech language pathologist will use their expertise to choose from treatment options, compensating for deficits and expanding upon strengths, with the goal of bringing out their client's optimal communicative potential.
If you suspect that your child is delayed or disordered in their spoken language use, or is struggling in school due to difficulties with grammar, vocabulary, reading or writing, a speech language evaluation may be in order. While there is a wide range within what is considered "normal" language development, there is no time to lose when something isn't right. Early intervention has been shown to eliminate or ameliorate a host of later language problems, especially when the family is engaged in the therapeutic process.
