Understanding Stuttering: Beyond the Disfluencies
Stuttering is more than just stumbling over words. It’s a complex interplay of neurological, physiological, and emotional factors.
While the exact cause remains under investigation, early intervention and therapy are crucial for managing stuttering’s impact and improving communication skills.
