The most common types of stuttering are disfluencies, blocks, repetitions, and prolongations. Disfluencies are sounds or syllables that are difficult to pronounce due to a disruption in the flow of speech. Blocks are repeated sounds or syllables that occur when a person is trying to get words out but can't. Repetitions involve repeating words or phrases over and over again. Prolongations are prolonged pauses during speech that last more than one second.
