Speech Dysfluency
The specialist who studies speech difficulties in childhood is the speech-language pathologist, with support from the pediatrician and, when needed, the pediatric neurologist. These are the professionals to see when there is a lack of fluency in speech.
Lack of fluency in speech describes interruptions in the rhythm of speech, such as repetitions of sounds or words, pauses, or blocks that make it hard to express oneself smoothly. It is relatively common at certain stages of childhood development.
When is an evaluation advisable? When these difficulties persist, cause frustration, or affect the child's daily communication. An early professional evaluation makes it possible to understand the case and support language development in the best way.
