Language development begins from birth. In the development of the child, psychosocial development, development of social relations, intelligence and learning skills should be at the normal level of development expected for his age.
 
Language is studied in two parts. These are receptive language (auditory perception) and expressive language. Receptive language is the child's grasp and understanding of verbal expressions.

Stuttering, Rapid Distorted Speech

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines stuttering as an involuntary disorder in which the individual cannot ensure the flow of speech even though he knows what he wants to say. Stuttering is a fluency disorder characterized by involuntary interruptions in the flow and rhythm of speech that usually begins between the ages of 3 and 8, the cause of which is unknown, and can often improve in the pre-adolescent period. In stuttering, prolongation of sounds, pauses, sound and syllable repetitions, and exclamations are seen. It occurs with psychological, physiological and neurological rhythm disorders such as tense words, the desire to use other words instead of words that are difficult to say. These are the conditions that predispose to stuttering.
