Recently I have heard clients give two interesting responses as to what they thought caused their stuttering. One client believes he started stuttering when he was forced to write with his right hand, even though he was left handed. Another client determined that it was excessive tickling that he believed caused his stuttering. What are your opinions on these two potential causes of stuttering? Do clients commonly identify these, and other similar situations, as the causes of their stuttering? If these are not actual causes of stuttering, how would you handle the situation of clients that these were not the cause and explaining actual causes?
