Communicating PhonicsSection 4 > Different types of speech, language and communication needs > Children with who stammerChildren who stammerAlso known as stuttering or dysfluencyGeneral informationStammering varies with the individual child, but some commonfeatures are:• Repetition of whole words, for example, “When, when,when, are we playing?”• Repetition of single sounds or parts of words, for example,“G-g-go away!” or “Mu-mu-mu-mummy”• Stretching sounds in a word, for example, “I like that s-sstory”• Blocking of sounds - when the child’s mouth appears ready tospeak but no sound emerges for several seconds, for example“----I got a book”Stammering can come and go. It can change even withinthe same conversation and can fluctuate from mild to severedepending on the situation. It may range from part and wholeword repetitions a few times a day for one child, to blockingfor 3-4 seconds, accompanied by gestures like foot stamping,for another.There is a major difference between the beginning stammeringfound in a young child and the confirmed condition in olderchildren and adults. Stammering in young children is largely atemporary speech difficulty as it can be overcome with modernapproaches to therapy.• Stopping speaking half way through a sentence• Tension signs in the face, for example, around the eyes, lips,neck or nose• An extra body movement as the child tries to push out theword, for example, stamping their feet, tapping with handsor changing position• Breathing might sound affected, for example, the child mighthold his breath while speaking75
