There are many different speech disorders that affect millions of people the world over. Each of these disorders might have different causes and different cures or forms of therapy. Also, more is known about the causes of some than of others. Stuttering is one of those speech disorders that has been around forever, and yet there are still many questions that have yet to be answered about it.
When looking into stuttering causes, there are some things that are known, but there are also quite a few mysteries yet to be solved. Research is ongoing into some of these areas and The Stuttering Foundation and others are working with doctors and scientists to piece together information that can help bring us closer to finding a cure for the disorder.
So what are stuttering causes? First of all, stuttering is a developmental speech disorder that begins in childhood and usually goes away on its own. However, for about 1% of the population, stuttering continues into adulthood and is a continuing issue their entire lives. In some cases stuttering can be acquired and may begin after a mental or physical trauma such as an accident of the sudden loss of a loved one. However, let's focus on developmental stuttering here.
Stuttering is known to be genetic, and about 60% of stutterers have a family member who also stutters and this is the most common stuttering cause. Secondly, in child development children who have other language or developmental delays are more likely to stutter. Neurophysiology, meaning that the processing of speech and language takes place in different areas of the brain in those who stutter. The dynamics of family, meaning that stuttering might be more common where there are high expectations and a fast pace of life.
Those are what are currently considered to be the causes of stuttering. As it is genetic, research is being done to locate the gene that carries the disorder in order to isolate it, making a cure for genetic stuttering a distinct possibility. In other situations therapy and support groups can help stutterers make significant improvements in their speech.
One aspect of this speech disorder is stuttering anxiety. While the stuttering and physical behaviors that may accompany it are what we generally think of as stuttering, this is only a small part of the problem. The stuttering anxiety is really the biggest part of the problem. If not for this aspect, stuttering would probably not get worse and would not be such a problem.
Anxiety is a major catalyst of stuttering. As a person anticipates a stressful conversation or situation, the likelihood of their stuttering goes up dramatically. It is unclear whether this is actually a cause or a consequence of stuttering, as it is a cycle that begins very early on. On thing is clear, however, and that is that the more a person learns to deal with the stuttering anxiety and find self confidence and overcome fears, the better their life will be and the easier their communication.
