Last year reserachers for the first time identified "stuttering genes" that account for 9% of the cases of stuttering. Many believe soon the majority of the cases of stuttering will have a definite genetic link.
I recommend to parents the websites of two great organisations: The Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children (www.stammerincentre.org) and The Stuttering Foundation (www.stutteringhelp.org). Both websites have great info for parents. The site of The Stuttering Foundation has a ton of free resources like streaming videos, downloadable brochures, and more.
