Are dyslexia and stuttering linked?

Dyslexia and stuttering are separate conditions, but both affect language processing. Dyslexia impacts reading and spelling, while stuttering affects the fluency of speech. Some studies suggest that children with dyslexia may have a higher likelihood of speech and language difficulties, but not all children will experience both.

Speech therapy is often beneficial for stuttering and can complement literacy support if dyslexia is also present. Understanding both conditions helps families choose the right therapy approaches.
