Episode/Course Description: Stuttering has recently been reclassified in DSM 5 as Childhood Onset Fluency Disorder. Over the past decade, much has been learned regarding the neurophysiologic and genetic basis of stuttering. With such, methods for medical treatments have emerged. Such treatments can potentially be utilized when standard speech therapy techniques have not yielded full benefits or as an augmentation to such treatments.
