What is stuttering?
From the Stuttering Foundation website: Stuttering is a communication disorder in which the flow of speech is broken by repetitions (li-li-like this), prolongations (lllllike this), or abnormal stoppages (no sound) of sounds and syllables. There may also be unusual facial and body movements associated with the effort to speak. Stuttering is also referred to as stammering.
The following videos are from PeachieSpeechie.com. She does a great job of explaining how to utilize various speech strategies taught to students who stutter.
