Fluency or Stuttering Problems

• Interruptions in flow or rhythm
• Can include hesitations, repetitions, or prolongations
• Can affect sounds, syllables, words, or phrases

Articulation Disorders

• Saying one sound for another (wabbit for rabbit)
• Omitting a sound in a word (i-cream for ice cream)
• Distorting a sound (thee for see)

I live on a ranch near Dunning, NE where we have a cow/calf operation.  In my spare time I enjoying my family (grandsons), riding horses, and reading.
