Stuttering In Children

In the United States of America there are over three million people who stutter. In these three articles I found online: “Predicting Stuttering Onset by the Age of 3 Years: A Prospective, Community Cohort Study”, “Sociodynamic Relationships between Children Who Stutter and Their Non-Stuttering Classmates”, and a general article just titled “Multidimensional Behavioral Treatment for Child Stutterers” I found that stuttering in children is more common that I thought they were.

This kind of information will continue to change ever so slightly from decade to decade because the kids are all facing a different age and
