5-10% of children stutter at some point. Here's when it's time to talk to a specialist.
If your child has been stuttering for more than six months, the chances of naturally outgrowing it decrease. Early treatment matters.
You can see effort in your child's face, jaw, or neck when they try to get words out. This physical tension is a sign treatment can help.
Your child stops raising their hand at school, avoids talking to other kids, or says "never mind" instead of trying again.
"B-b-b-ball" or "Ssssssnake" — repeating sounds or stretching them out beyond what's typical for their age.
Your child opens their mouth but no sound comes out. These silent blocks can be especially frustrating and scary for children.
If a parent, sibling, or close relative stuttered, your child has a higher risk of persistent stuttering. Early evaluation is especially important.
"Our son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4. The first services we received was speech therapy as he was unable to express himself. We were lucky enough to have been paired with Stacey. Our son has been in speech therapy for almost a year now and has improved so much. He is always excited to go see Mrs. Stacey. We are forever grateful."— Lopez Family, Dixon, CA
"STC helped me ease my daughter into attending sessions independently instead of needing me to accompany her to every session, which has given her more confidence. My daughter looks forward to her therapy every week. We've experienced other speech therapy service providers and STC is by far our favorite. It feels like a second home."— Ann & Rose, Vacaville, CA
About 5-10% of all children go through a period of stuttering. Many outgrow it, but if stuttering has lasted more than 6 months or your child is showing signs of tension or avoidance, an evaluation is recommended.
Seek an evaluation if stuttering has lasted 6 months or more, if your child shows visible tension or struggle when speaking, if they avoid speaking situations, or if there's a family history of stuttering.
The Lidcombe Program is the most evidence-based treatment for preschool-age children who stutter. It's a parent-delivered program where you learn specific techniques to use at home, guided by your speech therapist.
While many children do outgrow stuttering, 20-25% do not. Research shows that 75-80% of children recover with early treatment. Early intervention gives your child the best chance.
