Examining Stuttering in Preschool Children from the Perspective of Speech Therapy and Neurology

Stuttering is a speech disorder that can be completely remedied. Its elimination requires active intervention and the consistent application of all necessary measures. Achieving fluent speech in preschoolers with stuttering is a complex and specialized process. The success of speech therapy for children depends on close cooperation among parents, preschool teachers, and speech therapists. This article highlights that the systematic and structured development of coherent speech in preschool children enables them to easily and quickly select appropriate words, articulate thoughts, and speak without pauses or interruptions. Such practices help strengthen proper pronunciation and minimize the risk of stuttering recurrence under adverse conditions. The article also emphasizes the potential of tele-speech therapy as a tool for delivering remote speech therapy services. Finally, it explores key aspects of neurological, psychotherapeutic, and speech therapy approaches to overcoming stuttering in children, along with the conditions required for effective intervention.
