What do the 3 types of stuttering sound like?

The most common types of stuttering are repetitions, prolongations, and blocks. Facial or body movements, called secondary behaviors, can accompany stuttering as well. This video describes the three types and possible accompanying behaviors.

I know someone who repeats phrases. I realize he does it most when I’m around. I’m happy to be his mentor.

Ive never been diagnosed with any speech impediment but I have noticed during my adult hood, talking to strangers I find myself stuttering. I don’t think it’s actually a speech impediment but more of a nervous response

Everything you just listed is 100% me without a doubt. Ive been having this stutter my whole life 21 now and still have it.

Thanks for the video! I’m trying to write a character that stutters, so this is really helpful. One question, is it possible for people to have 2 or all 3 types of stutters? Like for example, someone who stutters usually repetitions and blocks while stuttering.

i have mostly prolongation especially on st words like "state" or "street" and i usually like swipe my left hand across my face from up to down and it for some reason helps me get it out

When i was a child i struggled with repetitions. Now its just the occasional prolongations and blocks. Tbh most times i choose to stay silent because of the fear of the prolongations coming out when i least except it. When you see most people around you speak so fluently without any difficulties in their speech, it makes some people like me more quite.

I got the block stutter and its hard to speak especially when im nervous and the teacher tells me to speak in the class

[Exe.]

I don't have any body movements while stuttering...I have little prolongation and little repeatation stuttering .

[jennifer]

When I read out loud I don’t stutter, when talking I stutter if I’m not calm or talk slow I never repeat a word I have a block and my eyes wink kinda fast sometimes

[shivanisharma]

Hey could you please tell me what kind of stuttering it is when you think of some words in your mind e.g present and when you need to speak you cannot speak the word couldn't come out from ur mouth

[naaengmann]

I went to a speech therapist when I was a little kid for a lisp and stuttering, and I still have a stutter all these years later 😅 it's definitely not as pronounced as it used to be but of course I still notice it

[randomhuman]

I think i have the last 2 ones, along with secondary behaviors like avoiding eye contact and changing vocal pitch… my family bugs me about it all the time 😅

My son is 3 years this month. He develops 1st And second type from 10 days now. Is it normal or should I consult some dr

Lee Lovetts’ How to Stop Stuttering & Love Speaking book & WSSA program can massively help you if you diligently immerse yourself in the authors methods every day. Patience and persistence will lead you down a beautiful road to fluency.

What does it mean when i fall over my words and make a strange sound in the middle of words?

[dot]

Is it still stuttering if instead of repeating the first sound/syllable of a word, you repeat the whole word? Like in a sentence, "The red white fox that that that jumped over the fence."
