Hi Kelsie The frequencies of stuttering of the subjects you watched were around 7% and 9%. I have not determined if the atypical laryngeal movements are found in ALL who stutter. First, not all clients want to go through the procedure. Then, there is no way of confirming it. Second, because there are not two stutterers alike, so I assume that some will not present a laryngeal activity that differs from the usual activity. Of those I tested, I have seen some who had movements predominantly at the tip of the tongue and lips with a "relatively calm" larynx. So, I must say that some PWS have, others do not. And yes, females also present difficulties as well. I did not find any distinction related to gender, besides the known fact that there are more men who stutter than there are women. Thank you for your comments and questions.
