She needs to see a speech therapists, they would be better qualified to help. All you can do is encourage her and let her know you have faith in her despite the fact that she stammers.

True but unfortunately, such services are not available around here and that's what I think the OP meant.

@OP, you would do well not to put that child in situation which might lead to the child being ridiculed but you should also help the child by making him/her understand that just cos he/she stutters does not mean he/she is less human and help the child boost confidence.

Advising the child to take a deep breathe before speajing also works

Yeah, an individual that stammers will definitely sing well without any difficulty. There was this movie that I saw... KING's SPEECH. It will definitely help.
