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.
