Hello Amy, Thank you for a great question. In a nutshell, I would say that conditioned learning, memory, limbic system responses, negative beliefs, and neurobiological and neurophysioloical processes contribute to generating cognitive and emotional reactions to stuttering. A child's interactions with others, the awareness of the reactions of people around the child, and the feelings of self-worth begin at a young age. I hope that your daughter receives speech therapy with a knowledgeable speech-language pathologist and that you use available resources geared to parents (from the Stuttering Foundation of America, the National Stuttering Association, and Friends). The fact that you took the initiative to participate in this ISAD event shows that you are on the right track! Best wishes. Isabella Reichel
