Are you a professional supporting a child who stutters?
Here are 6 indicators that specialised support is recommended.
- Does the child’s stutter impact their overall message?
- Does the child seem frustrated or distressed? Does the child have signs of tension or body movement?
- Has the child been stuttering for 6 months or more?
- Does the child have a family history of stuttering?
- Does the child have a sensitive temperament? Do they seem to be reactive to their environment and stutter more in certain circumstances?
- Does the child have any other diagnoses such as speech, language, cognitive, learning or sensory delays or disorders?
