Despite high amount of incidents, no scientific paper existed up to now in Georgia dealing with the stuttering. In present essay the views over are collated. It is confirmed that the phenomenon reflects the speech rate and/or the rhythm distortions created by convulsive type involuntary contractions of voice-producing muscles. The disorder is either congenital or acquired. Complicated pregnancy and/or delivery, heavy and/or recurred somatic diseases, speech-formation delay, conflicting social situations appear the main provoking/supporting factors of. The stuttering covers physical and psychological symptoms. The physicals are manifested in speech muscle twitches, while the psychological in phobias. Neurotic and neurotic-like stuttering types are differentiated. The neurotics arise on the background of psychological disorders, the linkage of the neurotic-likes with any concrete factor being mostly difficult or impossible. It is emphasized that the stuttering treatment demands the complex application of pedagogical and medical means and aims the cure of the whole organism, while predominantly of the nervous system, and improvement of mode-of-life conditions of the sufferer. The necessity of the cure of associated diseases is emphasized. It is stated that the stuttering psychotherapy implies the blockage of mental disturbances, while the speech recovery trials intends the establishment of adequate voice, articulation, and respiratory functions. In utilized habilitation/rehabilitation means the particular attention has to draw to initiation of well-balanced logo-rhythms. The regulation of hemisphere speech-center function is a primary target of the vocal exercises applied. Achievements attained in study sessions are regularly spread over the vital situations. The favorable social environment is also regarded as an important item for the pathology defeat. The significance of the systematic cure interventions is emphasized the frequent and/or long-term pauses between being judged as the cause of habit remissions happened. Just compound and customary treatment and active involvement of parents and other family members in applied efforts ensure the better chances for the positive care output.

Purpose: Talking in unison with a partner, otherwise known as choral speech, reliably induces fluency in people who stutter (PWS). This effect may arise because choral speech addresses a hypothesized motor timing deficit by giving PWS an external rhythm to align with and scaffold their utterances onto. This study tested this theory by comparing the choral speech rhythm of people who do and do not stutter to assess whether both groups change their rhythm in similar ways when talking chorally.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate musical pitch and timbre perception in children who stutter and compare the results with typically developing children.
Methods: A total of 50 participants were included in the study, consisting of 25 children with stuttering (mean age = 10.06 years; range 6-17 years) and 25 typically developing children (mean age = 10.

Introduction: The study aims to investigate the relationship between pragmatic language skills of children who stutter (CWS) and the frequency of stuttering, with a focus on the development of these skills through peer interaction in the school years. It is well-known that CWS may face social disadvantages at school due to their limited peer interaction, which may pose a risk to the development of their pragmatic language skills.
Method: The study involved 64 CWS aged between 60 and 106 months.

The human genome is composed of distinct genomic regions that are susceptible to various types of somatic mutations. Among these, Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) stand out as the most mutable genetic elements. STRs are short repetitive polymorphic sequences, predominantly situated within noncoding sectors of the genome.
