Fluency disorders, stuttering (in children)

Fluency disorders commonly develop in children between ages 2 and 5. Children often experience a normal pattern of dysfluency as their communications skills and cognitive development mature. However, some children may experience more severe or persistent forms of dysfluency or stuttering. Our team of experienced speech-language pathologists can help with comprehensive fluency evaluation and individual intervention.
