Hi Jochen I agree with Brian and Lynne's comments regarding an assessment from a speech thearapist, however I just wanted to add a comment about treatment. The Lidcombe Program is an effective treatment for preschool stuttering which was developed in Australia but is now gaining recognition in Germany. Recently we have conducted workshops and therapists from all over Germany have been trained to do the treatment. A colleague of mine is also conducting research at the University of Frankfurt am Main looking at the effectiveness of the treatment with German children. You can find out more about this program on the website of the Australian Stuttering Research Centre http://www3.fhs.usyd.edu.au/asrcwww/treatment/lidcombe.htm kind regards, Anna
