  2. What is Stuttering? Stuttering is not a threatening condition, and there are plenty of people who are affected by this speech disorder that it’s about time that many more try to understand what it’s like to have it. While it doesn’t necessarily have painful side effects, it does make anyone affected feel frustrated, hesitant, and afraid whenever they have to speak.

  3. Causes Stuttering The four factors of stuttering • Genetics (approximately 60% of those who stutter have a family member who does also); • Child development (children with other speech and language problems or developmental delays are more likely to stutter): • Neurophysiology (recent neurological research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language slightly differently than those who do not stutter); • And family dynamics (high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles can contribute to stuttering);

  4. Gender Factor Insert the title of your subtitle Here Stuttering in Girls: Stuttering in Boys: In children who became chronic stutterers there were 3.75 boys to each girl. Conversely, girls who begin stuttering have a greater chance than boys to experience natural recovery (without treatment). In older children and adults the male-to-female ratio is large, about 4 to 1 or greater . Gender is one of the strongest predisposing factors for stuttering in that the disorder affects many more males than females.

  8. Methods To Stop And Prevent Stuttering 01 Slow Down 02 Focus On Breathing 03 Avoid Trigger Words 04 Find The Rhythm 05 Move Your Body To Calm Nerves 06 Speech Therapy 07 Electronic Devices

  9. Slow Down People diagnosed with stuttering often feel the pressure to speak, even without the actual people or situations to pressure them. The important thing is to slow down and focus on maintaining a slower speech rate so one can deliver a complete sentence or idea.

  10. Focus On Breathing Avoid Trigger Words Breathing therapy, whether during a stressful situation or not, helps people who suffer from stuttering to calm their nerves. Since anxiety can intensify one’s stuttering, it’s important to keep calm and relax the nerves. Doing mindful breathing will reduce blood pressure and increase the oxygen flow throughout the entire body and eventually reduce the person’s anxiety. In some cases of stuttering, certain words trigger the speech disorder. The best way to go about this is to take note of the words, or sometimes syllables, that trigger the stuttering and study how you can avoid them. Practicing these trigger words can also help reduce the possibility of stuttering when the time comes. You can consult with a stuttering specialistto learn more about how to do this.

  11. Find The Rhythm Sometimes, coming up with a rhythm when speaking also helps a person to have more control of their speech. The fluidity that comes with a sung language helps improve speech fluency because of the control that singing or the rhythm offers. Move Your Body To Calm Nerves As previously mentioned, a lot of the symptoms that prompt stuttering is all because of the nerves. For some people, stuttering comes out when they are nervous or anxious when speaking in front of many people. For a presenter with stuttering tendencies, using smooth and controlled body movements allow the nerves to calm down and finally be able to speak without any problems.

  12. Speech Therapy For a more permanent solution to stuttering, seeing a speech therapist is one of the best ways for both children and adults. It is especially recommended for adults with stuttering issues since this is no longer developmental. During a therapy session, the speech therapist will asses the severity of the stutter and proceed to tailor each session to suit the individual. Speech therapy also involves plenty of practice exercises for the patient to reduce anxiety and overcome the disorder. Electronic Devices When speech therapies and practice don’t work, technology saves the day. A device such as a speech monitor helps to alter the sound frequencies of the person to help regulate their speech. However, this solution can be expensive, and there have been no guarantees of its permanent benefits.
