Stuttering

Stuttering is a communication disorder characterized by disruptions in the normal flow of speech, which can manifest as repetitions of sounds, prolongations of words, or involuntary pauses. It often affects both children and adults and can be triggered by factors like anxiety, stress, or excitement. While the exact cause of stuttering is not fully understood, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental influences. Although stuttering can impact social interactions and self-esteem, many effective therapies and strategies can help individuals improve their speech and communication skills.
