Hi Christina. In my experience, stuttering simply does not have much of an effect on other disorders. I do know of a therapist who was stuttering very severely, and the client, who had short term memory problems, was forgetting the beginning of the sentence by the time the sentence was completed. I can't think of many other ways that stuttering could possibly impact therapy. The average moment of stuttering takes one second or less. It just is not a very big deal, unless it is unusually severe. Take care, Joe K.
