A member asked:

My 16 yr son starting stuttering this week, is there reason to worry and what is our next step ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have him evaluated: You need to find a speech/language professional & have him evaluated. Stuttering at that age is never considered normal. Approach to management will depend on the findings of the evaluation.
