Is the Child Really Stuttering? Questions & Answers about Preschool Dysfluency.
Blonigen, Julie A.
A question-and-answer format is used in this booklet to provide concise, practical information for adults concerned about a preschool child who frequently hesitates and repeats when speaking. The nature of the preschooler's repetitions and hesitations, as well as the role listeners can play in dealing with these stuttering-like behaviors, are discussed. Normal dysfluency (a stage in the speech development of many children) and abnormal dysfluency (actual stuttering) are compared to help the reader determine whether or not referral for assessment or remedial services is needed.
