Dysfluency refers to interruptions in the flow of speech, which can include repetitions, prolongations, or blocks. It is often associated with conditions like stuttering, where individuals may struggle to produce words smoothly. Dysfluency can occur in people of all ages and may vary in severity. While dysfluency is commonly linked to speech disorders, it can also happen in everyday conversation, especially when someone is nervous or unsure. Understanding dysfluency is important for effective communication and can help in providing support to those who experience it, fostering a more inclusive environment.
