I have a 14 year old son whose stuttering has morphed into blocks with fluctuating severity - at it's worst he has complete stop of airflow and relys on many motor-based secondary behaviors (hitting his hands against each other, head jerking) to get through the block. I wonder what the causes of these types of blocks are and what happens to the speech mechanism when this happens
