How to get rid of stammering?

Hello, my 8 years old daughter stammers a lot while talking. How to get rid of stammering? Do I take her to doctor? Is there any home care that can be adopted to stop this? Please recommend something effective.

@kaberi Speech and language therapy is widely available for people who stammer, although the level of service and waiting times vary across the country. Some treatments, such as feedback devices, are also there. Indirect therapy is where parents make changes to the way they communicate and the home environment, rather than focusing directly on their child's talking. If your child is under 5, this is probably the approach your therapist will suggest you try first. However, if a young child has been stammering for several months and it seems to be getting worse, it may be best to start direct therapy straight away. Indirect approaches are often based on the concept that children start to stammer when they cannot keep up with the demands made on their language skills.
