Dear Readers,
I have a problem when my daughter 3yrs old (this coming Merdeka Day), start speaking hesitantly, stammer.
i try to find out : What is stammering?
Stammering or stuttering is characterised by unusually frequent repeating or prolonging of sounds or words. The child may struggle to speak which can lead to anxiety, distress or reluctance to speak.
Now i know what to do with my lovely daughter when i read & understand from www.stammering.org/referral.
Why early referral?
Early referral is desirable because:
Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) needs to evaluate the risk of persistent stammering. If the child seems low risk they will monitor progress, if high risk they will intervene.
Provides support for parents and carers.
Intervention close to onset takes less therapy time and can prevent later psychological difficulties.
Empowers parents and other key workers.
Hope parents who have same problem with me can share your experinced here to help our childrens. Thanks.
