A dysfluency such as a block is not a type of avoidance. When blocking on a sound or word there is struggle, muscle tension and fixed oral posture. It is not fun or enjoyable. People who stutter may use avoidance strategies if their stuttering consists of hard and long blocks. I personally and professionally do NOT view a stuttering block a type of avoidance.
