  1. Disturbances in the normal fluency and time patterning of speech that are inappropriate for the individual's age and language skills persist over time.
  2. The disturbance causes anxiety about speaking or limitations in effective communication, social participation, or academic and occupational performance
  3. The onset of symptoms is in the early developmental period
  4. The disturbance is not attributable to a speech-motor or sensory deficit, dysfluency associated with neurological damage (i.e., stroke, tumor, trauma), or another medical condition and is not better explained by another mental disorder
