You can work on both, but be careful HOW you work on them. I have seen so many children begin stuttering during traditional artic therapy that I routinely ask about it now. Something about that intense a focus on speech production seems to bring out stuttering in some kids. I would advise a less direct approach to artic--play therapy or Cycles, something like that. A side benefit is that you don't spend half the session teaching/modeling a relaxed speech pattern and the other half making the client concentrate on articulator placement, manner, voicing, etc.
