summary

The most common and important way a child communicates with the world is through speech and language—yet these abilities may become disrupted during development, affecting the fluency and clarity of speech. Dysfluency can appear as normal developmental disfluency or as pathological forms such as stuttering, dysarthric fluency issues, or cluttering. This book presents clear explanations of definitions, levels of dysfluency, causes, clinical signs, and diagnostic procedures. It outlines both direct and indirect therapeutic approaches for treating fluency disorders in children. The text also provides a concise algorithm that guides clinicians through the evaluation and intervention process for children with dysfluency. It is recommended for all specialists involved in the assessment and treatment of pediatric fluency disorders.
