Language Development and Stuttering

This study examined self-reported stuttering among low-income bilingual and monolingual participants, including those without official diagnoses. Among bilinguals, 52% reported stuttering compared to 31% of monolinguals. Bilingual participants also reported more stuttering in their less-developed second language, highlighting differences in stuttering experiences across language groups (X²(1, N=69)=3.14, p=.077).
