Brief Answer:
may not be suitable at this age

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Speech therapy is a good means to treat stammering. However his age in my opinion is too early to understand and receive the full benefits of speech therapy. You can discuss with his treating pediatrician if he has grown sufficiently to take up speech therapy.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
