Is Bilingualism a risk factor for stuttering? What about the benefits of learning multiple languages? There was an article from http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080908215938.htm Study done in the UK, by Peter Howell? On a more practical level, how should one counsel parents of children who stutter regarding exposure to second language learning? And should bilingual speech therapy be given to a bilingual child (for example, find a bilingual Spanish-English Speech therapist if stuttering occurs in both English and Spanish). Thank you for your help and answers. Jon
