\t\t\t\tIn part one<\/a> and two<\/a> of this series, we talked about the importance of the patient and patient\u2019s family input as well as the three components of stuttering. The most common question I get asked as a speech-language pathologist is \u201cWhat causes stuttering?\u201d The short answer is \u201cWe don\u2019t know the exact cause.\u201d However, here are some of the things we do know, as presented by Craig Coleman, M.A., CCC-SLP:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Genetics play a major role:\u00a0 if there is a family history of stuttering, then the child is at a higher risk. Researchers have identified mutations on chromosomes 3 and 12 which may also play a part (for more information see article \u201cIn Search of Stuttering\u2019s Genetic Code\u201d).<\/li>\n
  2. There appears to be a difference in brain function shown by neuro-imaging studies. During speaking tasks, more areas of the brain may be activated in people who stutter than people who do not.<\/li>\n
  3. Stuttering is connected to the relationship between the motor and language systems. Speech and language may not be as \u201ccompartmentalized\u201d in people who stutter.<\/li>\n
  4. Reaction to stuttering can be shaped by personality and environment.<\/li>\n
  5. It is extremely rare that stuttering is related to emotional or psychological disorder.\"brain<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
