Proven Learning Approaches for Special Needs Education
One common reason for stuttering (that I experience personally myself) is cognitive pressure and rate of speech. While I was classroom teaching—verbally expressing large amounts of information to whole groups, small groups, and individual students, I actually developed a bit of a habit (though instances are pretty rare) of stuttering. When you speak rapidly, it may challenge your brain's ability to coordinate the muscle movements needed for smooth speech. This can lead to stuttering episodes, especially under stress or when multitasking.
This is all to say—neurological diagnosis depends on a strong understanding of context.
