According to the Stuttering Foundation, Cluttering is defined as follows:

“Cluttering is a fluency disorder characterized by a rapid and/or irregular speaking rate, excessive disfluencies, and often other symptoms such as language or phonological errors and attention deficits. “

Children who use cluttered speech are often very difficult to understand and have speech that sounds jerky or too fast. They may have irregular pauses or may speed up and slow down without cause during speech. As secondary symptoms, they may have difficulty organizing their thoughts verbally, they may leave many sounds out of words, and they may use irregular pitch or intonation.
