Abstract
Stuttering is a speech disorder which typically begins in childhood, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. Occasionally, however, stuttering is also observed for the first time in adulthood. In the latter case the stutter appears often secondary to acquired brain damage. Sometimes it is also a side effect of medication or it may be of psychogenic origin related to some form of psychological stress. In order to distinguish between the two conditions, stuttering which has its onset in childhood is often called developmental stuttering while stuttering originating after the typical childhood period is called acquired stuttering.
