A vigilant parent will supervise a child who has experienced persistent stuttering to assess the child's condition. One option that responsible parents should strongly consider is that if the child is over 5 years of age and still experiences persistent stuttering, then the child is treated with speech.

Although it is not considered a core discipline in any medical practice, children's language therapy is actually a particularly useful area of ​​treatment for improving the language model of stuttering children.

The purpose of speech therapy is to treat and treat stuttering. This subject is a broad category of language pathology. However, speech therapy is not only to teach children to speak correctly, but to correct some speech defects and correct the child's speech patterns. Before treatment, the therapist must first determine if the child's speech deficit is due to an external cause [such as an accident] or whether it is a natural defect.

Regardless of the cause, the speech and language therapist must first determine the severity of the defect. In fact, the severity of the defect directly affects the severity of the treatment provided, ie there is a direct correlation. For relatively simple things like stuttering, treatment is usually modest and more intensive for more serious speech problems.

Although the subject takes time to master, in addition to pathologists or speech and language therapists [SLPs], there are experts who have been trained in language therapy. As long as there are enough SLP guidance, even non-professionals can perform related treatments. As long as the person follows the SLP's courses and exercises for the child, the treatment can be effectively and smoothly performed.

Based on this reasoning, the child's parents can provide language therapy to the child through the guidance of the SLP. However, parents must be educated in more commonly identified language deficits before determining appropriate treatment.

Children have three major speech defects, namely vocal defects, sound/resonance disorders and fluency disorders. Defects of secondary physical features of speech [eg, lips, cheeks, jaws, teeth, tongue] are characterized first, while vocal cord defects and similar parts of anatomy, the primary physical speech feature representation second. Stuttering is an example of a fluency disorder that is not due to physical defects in primary or secondary speech characteristics.
