title: Physician referral patterns for stutterers.
abstract: Many children who stutter initially seek guidance from their pediatricians. Pediatricians often do not refer stutterers for speech therapy. We present a brief analysis of pediatricians' views regarding stuttering, as well as their exposure to patients who stutter. We present a practical approach to children who stutter.
