Is progress in therapy typically reduced for children with stuttering who also have ADHD?
Answer
Yes. The child would most likely have an impulsivity problem and the tendency to talk constantly. Progress with children who have ADHD, who are having suboptimal effects from medication or are not on medication, will be lengthened in terms of teaching them the kinds of techniques that you want them to do. A lot of stuttering therapy is about impulse control and having good inhibitory control in order to be able to change speech.
