Speech Difficulties - Stammering
What is Stammering?
Stammering, or stuttering, is a difficulty with the normal flow and timing of speech. Attempts to say something may be interrupted by repetition of a syllable, prolongation of the sound or a complete block on speech, so that words do not flow smoothly.
What are the characteristics of Stammering?
The severity of stammering may depend on the person's surroundings. The person may have problems initiating speech or flowing from one syllable to the next - all stammers sound different.
Is there a treatment to arrest the progression of Stammering ?
Stammering or stuttering is normally treated by a speech therapist. One simple approach that helps many people is just to speak more slowly, although other techniques can also be employed.
Other treatments include self-awareness, assertiveness training and communication skills.
