What Do I Do If My Toddler Starts Stuttering?
As toddlers language skills rapidly expand, some may experience speech behaviors that are similar to those of people who stutter. Stuttering is a fluency disorder that affects an estimated three million Americans. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), approximately 95 percent of children who stutter begin to do so by the age of 4.
