I am sorry not to be of help, but I did want you to know that your post was read--I simply have never worked with a child or adult who stuttered and also has cerebral palsy, nor am I aware of any literature specific to that co-diagnosis. While the cerebral palsy might make it somewhat more difficult to manage muscle tension related to stuttering, I would think that a good fluency therapist might work out some ways to provide assistance for the stuttering. You can check online for fluency specialists in your area by going to the website for the specialty board on fluency disorders: http://www.stutteringspecialists.org/ There is a link for consumers and a list of specialists there, categorized by name or state. Best regards, Lynne
