Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, stammering is common language acuity disorder below age of 5 years.
* As the weight is low as per the growth chart characteristics for 3.5 years, delayed growth pattern sounds suspicious.
* Detailed evaluation with
@ cognitive function
@ ENT check up
@ audiometry
@ interaction ability or social ability are must to proceed for further diagnostic work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
