Thank you for your response. At 6, nobody seems to really fixate on her stutter. I think this is because her stutter comes *after the word* and not beginning with it. I ensure she knows I will always take the time to listen to her. Still, I notice the stutter isn’t “going away” like was suggested to me by her pediatrician (who is great and we love her). My daughter, interestingly, was also pronounced profoundly deaf early in life and dealt with chronic ear infections. But then she was anesthetized for an ABR to test her hearing and an ear tube placement. After failing countless hearing tests and another ABR previously, she suddenly passed the ABR “perfectly”. Just interesting since hearing and speech can be connected.
