Stuttering is also called “disfluency.” This is a very typical stage of speech and language development for most children, and occurs most frequently between the ages of 2 ½ - 3 ½ years, when a child’s language is progressing from 2 word combinations to more complex sentences. This usually disappears within 6 months. Most children will move through this stage without difficulty, and only a few will need speech therapy. Research indicates that only 1% will go on to stutter as an adult.

R.E.S.T. Workshop
We received physiotherapy for our daughter who was being considered for a helmet for plagiocephaly. From our first appointment to our last, we received wonderful care. The staff at CTFRC were always very friendly, welcoming, and had a great spirit. The Physiotherapist was very kind, gentle and provided us with so much knowledge!
The outlet to have a professional available for help and advice and direction was key in our success, along with the tips, tools and education I received. They are so great at checking in and making sure I know there are supports, if necessary.
Having someone to talk me through the stages and calm my nerves about [my child's] development is what helped me the most. the sessions were always super informative and gave great advice on what to work on with [my child]. Just having the peace of mind that we were on the right track. I appreciate the service so much and I would recommend to any concerned parent!
