Concomitant Disorders in School-Age Children Who Stutter

A survey of 241 school-based speech-language pathologists examined numbers of confirmed and suspected concomitant speech/language disorders in children who stutter and the preferred intervention approaches. Of 467 children, 44 percent had a verified concomitant phonological and/or language disorder with additional children suspected of having such a concomitant disorder. Most clinicians preferred a blended intervention approach. (Contains references.) (DB)
