Risk Factors for Stammering
I found this article by The Stammering Foundation very helpful - it goes through the risk factors for stammering to help families work out if their childs dysfluency could be temporary as part of normal speech development or whether it's likely to be something more ongoing and need speech therapy.
The risk factors it outlines are:
Family History
Age of Onset
Time since onset
Gender
Other speech and language factors
