Stuttering is a violation of the tempo-rhythmic organization of speech, in which interruption occurs much more often than on average in most people.
Stuttering is often accompanied by tension and anxiety. In this case, repetitions of sounds, syllables, blocks of silence, unnatural stretching of sounds, facial grimaces
and tics are possible [1, 2]. On average, the frequency of stuttering occurs in 0.5-10% of cases in the
general population and represents a rather serious psycho-social problem.
Many children between the ages of two and five go through a natural period of
fluent speech.
