One of that is making sure that the school your child is enrolled in, knows about your child's stuttering. And that the teachers are aware about this as well. It is critical to do this in advance, because you want to ensure that your child is accepted and supported, instead of being endlessly told in class to stop stuttering.

Your child's classmates might also look down on him and tease him endlessly, which may give way to strong and prolonged feelings of insecurity. He may also develop an inferiority complex, which if not dealt with, can carry on with the rest of his life. This can be prevented in the first place, if there is mutual cooperation between the parents and the school on children with not just stuttering, but any form of disability.

Another thing is to know the policies of your school with regards again to your child's condition. Finding a good school that has a wide range of services to support your child is an extra plus. Most teachers and class instructors will be generous and flexible enough to make adjustments on how they treat your child.

This can be either in the form of adding extra minutes in tests given or allowing an assistant to help your child speak, while at the same time helping the teacher and the whole class interpret what he is trying to say.

Other teachers who are well aware of stuttering disabilities in children can allow your son to take written (instead of oral) exams. This of course, is dependent on the situation and level of stuttering of your child. Some schools also have disability counselors which are able to guide your child through the process of accepting himself, and believing in himself and his capabilities to make a difference with his life.
