Sara, I'm not aware of any literature specifically devoted to dementia and stuttering, although there are no doubt case studies out there where these conditions are related. And no doubt experienced clinicians have seen such cases. My guess is that either COULD happen: stuttering returning (or even starting for the first time) after the onset of dementia or existing stuttering reducing or remitting after the onset of dementia. Others on this esteemed panel may know of research in this area and, if so, hopefully will chime in. Ken
