 **Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder** (also known as **Stuttering**) is a disorder characterized by a disturbance in the normal fluency and time patterning of speech that is inappropriate for an individual'​s age. The disorder is characterized by frequent repetitions or prolongations of sounds or syllables. Other speech deficits include: (1) single words that are broken up (e.g. - pauses within a word), (2) audible or silent blocks (i.e. - filled or unfilled pauses in speech), (3) circumlocutions (i.e. -  word substitutions to avoid problematic words), (4) words produced with excess physical tension, and (5) monosyllabic whole-word repetitions (e.g., '​He-he-he-he is here"​). **Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder** (also known as **Stuttering**) is a disorder characterized by a disturbance in the normal fluency and time patterning of speech that is inappropriate for an individual'​s age.
