Fluency Disorders

Pause or sluttering while speaking

A sudden silence or repetition of words or sounds in between the speech is common now. People with this difficulty may find it hard to convince others of what they actually mean.

These moments make the individuals shy in front of others, making them less confident and comfortable in what they are saying.
