Marissa, You are correct in your assumptions. Many of the concomitant disorders are quite mild, and many have been identified as articulation and language disorders (see Arndt & Healey, 2001), but clinicians of the past (or maybe I should just talk about myself) were trained to treat disorders separately. For example, I was trained that working on an articulation disorder for a child who stutters would inhibit their progress on stuttering. This is pretty much not the case today and referenced by many very good authors, researchers, and clinicians (e.g., Ken Logan, Dianne Hill). Thanks for the questions, John Tetnowski
