I have evaluated several children for fluency, whose parents reported that their children's dysfluency worsened after taking medications for ADD. Parents have also reported that during the summer months, when their children were off their meds, the fluency improved. These children were all at risk for stuttering or had a history of stuttering prior to taking the meds. Any research to support these observations?
