While there are many different types of speech disorders, stuttering is one of the most commonly known and least understood of them. Stuttering can be traced back through the centuries and yet the causes and, more importantly, the cure for it remains elusive. Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized by repetitions of sounds and syllables, a broken flow of speech, prolongation of sounds and syllables or abnormal stoppages in speech. It may also be accompanied by facial and body movements that are unusual. In England, it is referred to as stammering.
