Most children outgrow stuttering. Approximately 75 percent of children recover from stuttering. For the remaining 25 percent who continue to stutter, stuttering can persist as a lifelong communication disorder.

Stuttering is not a disorder that requires a statement of special educational need in terms of statutory LEA provision, though children who stutter may be on the register of special educational need at their school.

Starkweather and Givens (2004) developed a theory of an identical process of PTSD and stuttering, with patterns of dissociation, avoidance, repetitive experience of fear and hyper arousal associated with PTSD and stuttering. But if this is so, stuttering is then a very specific form of PTSD.

It is unclear as to why stuttering is more common in males, but it may be linked with genetic factors; females could be more resistant to inheriting a stutter and/or could have better recovery rates than males (Yairi & Ambrose, 2005). The bottom line is that there are fewer females who stutter.

How to fix stuttering in game settings

1. Lower screen resolution setting. The first game setting you should look at when trying to fix stuttering in games is screen resolution.
2. Toggle VSync or FreeSync.
3. Decrease anti-aliasing.
4. Drop texture filtering.
5. Reduce texture quality.

There are a few reasons why people who stutter don’t do so when they sing. One is called easy onset of speech, or easy voice, or smooth speech. Another reason why a person may not stutter while singing is because words are more prolonged (and less apt to be stumbled over) when they’re sung rather than spoken.

The University of Iowa has done some research on this topic, and have concluded that “Music is an activity in which you use the right side of the brain (language uses the left), so when you sing music, you’re no longer using your left brain (and probably no longer stuttering).”

Results showed that singing reduced the frequency of stuttering by over 90%, presumably due to the increased duration of phonation. Further evidence for the benefit of singing in increasing fluency has been shown by Colcord and Adams (1979), and most recently by Davidow, Bothe, Andreatta, and Ye (2009).

Stuttering is less likely when, for example, reading a list of numbers. – Many stutterers can read out loud fluently, especially if they don’t feel emotionally connected to the book. However, other people only stutter when reading out loud, because they can’t substitute words.

A new imaging study finds that people who stutter show abnormal brain activity even when reading or listening. The results suggest that individuals who stutter have impaired speech due to irregular brain circuits that affect several language processing areas — not just the ones for speech production.

Typically, a child will have fewer than 10 disfluencies per 100 words, i. e., less than 10% of words will be produced disfluently.

They discovered that regional cerebral blood flow is reduced in the Broca’s area – the region in the frontal lobe of the brain linked to speech production – in persons who stutter. More severe stuttering is associated with even greater reductions in blood flow to this region.
