Is there any known correlation between stuttering and dyslexia? My son shows some of the early warning signs for dyslexia(trouble with word retrieval, learning letters and sounds, distinguishing rhymes, etc) and there is a + family history of dyslexia. He is only four and has been stuttering for a year--so we are just making sure he has good therapy for his stuttering and working on multi-sensory ways of teaching him his ABC's. Just curious if there is a larger percentage of children that stutter with some type of learning disability? I know there has been a lot of research on dyslexia and brain imaging and was wondering if the same part of the brain is involved with both disorders? Thank you for any insight.
