Thank you for your article. I found it very interesting, and it went along great with what we discussed today in my undergraduate class about stuttering. Perfect timing, I say. My question for you is this: In your opinion, which generally comes first in children with disorders alongside stuttering - the other disorder (phonological processes, for example)? Or does the stuttering create problems in those other areas? (Phonological processes as a result of avoidance behavior to escape a stuttering event)? How would this impact which aspect you might choose to treat first? Thank you, Sarah Gatz
