Stuttering is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder whose primary symptoms are disfluencies, involuntary disruptions in the normal flow of speech ( Smith and Weber, 2017). 

It is a communication disorder in which the flow of speech is broken by repetitions (li-li-like this), prolongations (lllllike this), or abnormal stoppages (no sound) of sounds and syllables. 

There may also be unusual facial and body movements associated with the effort to speak. (Stuttering Foundation).

The OSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic is home to the Flaum Fluency Program. This program runs two days per week and provides evaluation and speech therapy services for people who stutter of all ages. 

Please visit the Flaum Center for Suttering to learn more.
