Stuttering Devices

Stuttering (alalia syllabaris), also known as stammering (alalia literalis or anarthria literalis), is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases, and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the stutterer is unable to produce sounds.

Stuttering is sometimes popularly associated with anxiety but there is actually no such correlation (though as mentioned social anxiety may actually result in individuals because of their stuttering).

Stuttering is generally not a problem with the physical production of speech sounds or putting thoughts into words. Stutterers commonly report dramatically increased fluency when talking in unison with another speaker, copying another's speech, whispering, singing, and acting or when talking to pets, young children, or themselves.

This is no miracle cure for stuttering and it will not happen overnight. But with the determination and desire to stop stuttering anyone who stutters can use this
