[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 114016, member: 3444"] FWIW, here's a type of disfluency we've dealt with: Both difficult child's, and easy child to a lesser extent, would get stuck mid-word. Never the same word. Never the same amount of syllables. Never anything consistent, except that it was worse as medications wore off and when they were tired. easy child only did it until she was about 6. difficult child 1 did it until he was about 10 or 11. difficult child 2 is just now coming out of it. I mentioned it to speech therapists, Occupational Therapist (OT)'s, the school, pediatrician, psychiatrist, whomever would listen. No one thought much of it, but at the time, it was really bugging me because I didn't understand it and no one could really explain it very well to me. Here's an example of what would happen. difficult child would say something like: "I went to the sto-o-o-ore the other day with my friend and we we we bought we bought some candy." The pause was almost always mid-word, or involved repetition of a word or phrase. Never at the start of a word, never on a particular sound. What I finally got was this had more to do with difficult child's processing, and that in time it should smooth out, which, I'm thankful to say, it has. [/QUOTE]
