I am a graduate student majoring in Speech and Language Pathology. I am just wondering if Anna was stuttering because of neurological changes due to the accident, or her stuttering was a response to the pain. During my fluency class, I have learned that people who stutter have genetic predisposition. Do you think that individuals who acquired stuttering due to changes in the brain would have the genetic wiring for stuttering that can get triggered by neurogenic disorderso. Also, I would like to know what types of disfluencies are people with acquired stuttering exhibiting. Thank you. Nataliya
