Can stuttering be fixed in kids?

My daughter is stuttering. Can stuttering be fixed in kids?

1 Answer

Stuttering is not a fix it type of disorder. If she truly has a stuttering or fluency disorder, she will need speech therapy to help with modifying her speech, reducing physical concomitants such as excessive eye blinking and reducing starters. This will help with making her a better communicator and more fluent in all environments. With that said, she will always stutter at times if she truly is a stutter.
