Hey, Friends, What Category Does Stuttering Fall Under?

Hey, Friends, What Category Does Stuttering Fall Under? I’m signing up for a scholarship website, and it’s asking about disabilities. I don’t know about you, but I stutter, have selective mutism, have been to speech therapy, and require accommodations at school, so I consider it to be one. However, there’s no category for a speech impairment/impediment or “other”, so what else to we consider it to be? Some potential candidates are: \- Developmental Impairment \- Medical Disability \- Mental Impairment (maybe? Kinda a reach) Nothing else really fits. Any thoughts?
