Without see him or hearing him, it is hard to say for sure, but this child's disfluency appears to be more of a language formulation disfluency than classical stuttering. He starts to talk before the components of at least part of the utterance are available for production. Getting him to delay speech until he has formulated more, or facilitating his word retrieval strategies would seem to be more helpful in a case like this.
