Individuals that stutter may experience tension and struggle may be evident in the facial muscles, especially around the mouth 👄

Covert stuttering: word omittance, substitution and circumlocution as a strategy used by the speaker to hide an overt stutter.

@mcdeavitt you were right the second time around ;) The answer is false!! Males stutter more than women at a ratio of 4 to 1! #stutterfacts

[Stuttering Awareness @stuttering_wvu]

Who can answer first?!?! Stuttering is more common in girls than boys- TRUE OR FALSE?

[Stuttering Awareness @stuttering_wvu]

Also not true!!!! #lastweet

Samuel Orton proposed the theory that stuttering was caused by an immature nervous system and a lack of left-hemisphere dominance for speech

[Stuttering Awareness @stuttering_wvu]

In the 1500's people thought stuttering happened because something was physically wrong with the tongue.. we know now that is not true!
