“Can a child overcome stuttering?”

Hello! Yes, children can overcome stuttering, especially if they have good speech therapy intervention. That being said, many former stutterers may continue to stutter in certain situations (e.g., public speaking, when they are tired).

There is no cure for stuttering. Learning strategies, removing physical concomitants and learning triggers are the best strategies that a Speech Pathologist can teach your child.
