Neurogenic Stuttering

Neurogenic stuttering is a speech disorder that occurs due to changes or damage in the brain affecting the areas responsible for speech production. Unlike typical stuttering, which often appears in childhood, neurogenic stuttering can develop in adults, often following a neurological event like a stroke or head injury. Individuals may struggle with the flow of speech, experiencing disruptions such as repetitions of sounds, prolonged syllables, or blocks. This condition can be distinct from emotional or developmental stuttering, as it arises from neurological factors rather than psychological ones. Treatment often involves speech therapy tailored to the individual's needs.
