[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 91961"] Wynter's cluttering didn't start until the 2nd grade. To my untrained ear, it sounded like stuttering. However, she was really repeating parts of word and/or whole words and phrases. At times, she does get stuck on just the beginning of a word, especially 'sh' or 'st' sounds. In addition, she talks super fast...almost twice the number of words per minute as normal. The higher her emotional state, whether anxious, excited, angry...whatever...the more cluttering going on. Sometimes it's difficult to understand her. The speech therapist at the school was trying to not allow speech into the IEP, saying it didn't have any educational impact. However, the teachers spoke up and said it discourages her from participating in class. In fact, Wynter had a teacher in the 5th grade that didn't know that Wynter had a speech problem.
