Normal Speech Dysfunctions as a Differential Diagnosis to Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder

Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder must be distinguished from normal dysfluencies that occur frequently in young children, which include whole-word phrase repetitions (e.g., "I want, I want ice cream"), incomplete phrases, interjections, unfilled pauses, and parenthetical remarks. If these difficulties increase in frequency or complexity as the child grows older, a diagnosis of Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder may be made.
