Abstract

Developmental stuttering is a language disorder characterized by repetition of words or sounds, lengthened and paused language rhythm disorder, which is still inconclusive in etiology. There may be secondary associated with motor spasms. Children who stutter may begin to show behavioral, emotional, and social development disorders as early as the age of 3, which are already evident in older children who stutter. Therefore, it is necessary to provide timely interventions to prevent children from serious mental health problems in their future life. This review summarizes the pathogenesis and evaluation methods of stuttering, expounds the treatment methods of stuttering, and takes an outlook at the imaging and treatment prospects of stuttering.
