=Four factors that most likely contribute to the development of stuttering:=
 * ==genetics (about 60% of those that stutter have a family member that also stutters)==
 * ==child development (children with other speech and language or developmental delays are more likely to stutter)==
 * ==neurophysiology (recent research shows that people who stutter process speech and language in different areas of the brain than those that do not stutter)==
 * ==family dynamics (high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles)==

About 5% of all children go through a period of stuttering that lasts six months or more

 * ==3/4 of those will recover by late childhood==
 * ==This leaves about 1% with a long-term stuttering problem==

The second week in May is National Stuttering Awareness Week
