Abstract: Stuttering is the most common speech disorder in children. Its etiology is multifactorial. The diagnosis is based on a correct anamnesis and clinical examination. Despite the fact that a large number of cases resolve spontaneously, treatment should not be delayed for more than a year, because long-standing forms have a worse prognosis. In cases where stuttering is associated with other neurological symptoms, other pathologies must be ruled out. A literature review was carried out, finding 35 articles in total, of which only 15 fulfilled the validity criterion in order to characterize the most frequent verbal fluency disorders from the logofoniatric point of view. Studies carried out by different authors show that stuttering is considered one of the chronic logofoniatric diseases that occur more frequently in the child population, not only at the national level, but also in our province, which shows that the knowledge of the family about the management and treatment of this condition in their children.
