A 30-Month Old Female Is First Seen Three Months After

A 30-month old female is first seen three months after onset. She exhibits moderate to severe stuttering in terms of frequency (e.g., 13 SLD per 100 syllables). Her uncle exhibits mild stuttering and her older cousin has been stuttering for six years at a moderate level of severity. Three months later, the parents report some improvement but still rate the stuttering as moderate. Analyses of speech samples reveal 11 SLD per 100 syllables. In spite of the improvement, immediate intervention should be considered.
