Hi! I really enjoyed your article, and gained a lot of useful insight! I was wondering: we learn here that while the etiology of stuttering is unknown, there is research to support both a genetic and environmental link. Based on trends you may have noticed among Nigerian stutterers, would you be more inclined to lean towards and emphasis on the environmental causes of stuttering, because of the attitudes and feelings of the environment? Thank you for your time, and for posting such a great article! Morgan Schutz
