Although stuttering in bilinguals is an area of interest to both clinicians and researchers, data on bilingualism and stuttering are scanty. This paper reviews the available literature on stuttering and bilingualism. Major findings are that stuttering is probably more prevalent in bilinguals than in monolinguals, that stuttering can affect one or both languages, that the two languages may be equally or differently affected, and that diagnosis and treatment in bilingual stutterers seem to require a particular approach. Educational objectives: The reader will learn about the prevalence of stuttering in bilinguals. The reader will learn about and be able to describe the different patterns of the manifestation of stuttering in bilinguals. The reader will learn about and know some issues to consider in diagnosing and treating dysfluent bilingual clients.
