Justin, I have worked with a number of people of all ages who clutter and I have never had one of them develop stuttering as an outcome of treating cluttering. What I have seen on several occasions is a client who has been diagnosed and treated for stuttering and their cluttering has been missed (not diagnosed). I suspect that often, the stuttering is so pronounced initially, or of such concern to the person and/or their family, that the cluttering symptoms were overlooked. Or, it could also have been that the SLP didn't look further once the stuttering was diagnosed. I'll be interested to see if any others on this panel have had a different experience with the dual diagnosis. Regards, Lynne
