Stuttering — also called a fluency disorder — is a speech condition characterised by involuntary repetitions, prolongations, or blocks that disrupt the natural flow of speech. It affects approximately 1% of adults worldwide and often begins in early childhood. Effective, evidence-based therapy is available for all ages.
How stuttering is treated
Evidence-based techniques include prolonged speech, easy onset (beginning words gently), light articulatory contacts, and breathing regulation exercises. For children under 6, the Lidcombe Programme uses parent-delivered feedback in natural settings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) strategies address the anxiety and avoidance that often accompany stuttering in older children and adults.
The role of family
How parents and teachers respond to stuttering profoundly affects the child’s confidence and fluency development. Rushing the child, finishing their sentences, or showing visible concern all increase pressure and worsen stuttering. Parent coaching is therefore a core part of every fluency programme.
Global Child Wellness Center’s fluency programmes run 6–18 months and include structured parent and family coaching alongside direct therapy — because consistent, pressure-free support at home is as important as clinic practice.
