Cluttering

Cluttering is a communication disorder characterized by rapid, disrupted, and often incoherent speech that makes it difficult for others to understand. It involves not only speech rate but also the rhythm, flow, and organization of words, leading to speech that may be overly hurried, fragmented, or inconsistent. Unlike stuttering, which involves repetitions or blocks, cluttering primarily affects the clarity and coherence of speech. It can also impact language skills, organization, and social interactions, often going unnoticed initially. Effective treatment typically includes speech therapy focused on improving speech rate, organization, and clarity to enhance communication.
