ICD-11 MA81 — Speech dysfluency
Speech dysfluency is characterised by the frequent or pervasive disruption of the rhythmic flow of speech that arises subsequent to the developmental period (i.e., adult onset) and is outside the limits of normal variation and results in reduced intelligibility and significantly affects communication.
