Stuttering is treatable, and early intervention produces the best outcomes for lasting fluency.
Repeating initial sounds ("b-b-b-ball") or whole words multiple times.
Stretching out sounds ("ssssssnake") or getting stuck on sounds.
Difficulty starting words, with visible tension or effort.
Avoiding speaking situations, substituting words, or showing frustration when speaking.
Stuttering therapy is evidence-based and builds both fluency skills and confidence.
