Risk Factor Results: Low Risk

Based on your responses, your child is at a low risk for persistent stuttering at this time; no immediate action is recommended. If your child’s stuttering persists or worsens over the next 3 months, re-visit our Risk Factor Analysis tool. Things you can do in the meantime: continue to be patient while listening to your child, don’t interrupt or finish their sentences, maintain eye contact, don’t ask them to “fix” their speech, and set aside “down time” each day.

*Disclaimer- Not a diagnostic tool.  The Risk Factor Quiz is an arbitrary point system that was created by Word on the Speech solely for the purpose of cuing parents to the variation in “weight” of each risk factor, so that they may make more informed decisions about their child’s stuttering.  

Early Intervention isn’t just for high risk children.

If you’re still not feeling confident about your child’s speech, there’s a free resource available for you to evaluate your child’s speech therapy needs from the comfort of your home.
