In today's episode, we explore how stuttering, or disfluency, can be a normal part of language development, and even everyday language use, or it can be a speech-language impairment. Stuttering is a complex issue and requires speech professionals to collect information regarding several different factors. We reference a research article by Cara M. Singer, Sango Otieno, Soo-Eun Chang, and Robin Jones called Predicting Persistent Developmental Stuttering Using a Cumulative Risk Approach. We review the ways in which we review risk factors and behaviors to begin the determination of whether a child's dysfluency is a normal part of their language development, or if a Developmental Stutter diagnosis and speech-language therapy interventions are necessary.
