Dr. Xie Zixing
Children who stutter can visit the pediatric rehabilitation department or pediatric health care department at a hospital. The pediatric rehabilitation department specializes in conditions such as childhood stuttering, language disorders, and motor impairments, and can accurately assess the severity of stuttering and develop appropriate rehabilitation plans. The pediatric health care department focuses on children's neuropsychological development and physical growth, and can also provide certain treatment and rehabilitation strategies for stuttering.
