Stuttering is a problem that affects many children. The onset of stuttering is typically between the ages of three and five. The degree of stuttering in a child may vary greatly over time. Sometimes the stuttering seems to improve, and then it appears to worsen again. A significant percentage of children outgrow stuttering, but for many children, stuttering persists throughout adolescence and adulthood. If you suspect that your preschool child is stuttering, you should have your child evaluated by a qualified speech-language pathologist.

For older children, the psychological effects of stuttering are often profound. Stuttering can severly restrict the normal expression of a child's personality in social settings, and can impact academic performance and self-esteem.

In adulthood stuttering often adversely affects choice of career and income level. In addition, many adults report that stuttering has restricted their social lives, and limited their options in finding a mate.
