My disclosures are twofold today.
I have financial relations
regarding material
from two of my published books;
material that will be included
in the content of this
Henry Stewart Talk.
My non-financial disclosure
is that I have
non-financial relations
with information
from journal publications
that I have co-authored.
Information is also included
in this talk.

Purpose of my talk today
is to briefly discuss
the possible role
of emotional contributions
to the causal matrix of stuttering,
especially as those contributions
may impact children who stutter.
Frequently used acronyms
in this talk:
will be CWNS for children
who do not stutter
and CWS for children
who do stutter.
Thus, our talk today will focus
on preschool-age children,
the age group
when stuttering begins
for most individuals who stutter.

The outline
is pretty straightforward.
I'm gonna briefly cover
some background perspectives
and information.
Then I'm gonna get into
what constitutes "cause".
And then some basic assumptions
I make about stuttering
and causes of stuttering.
And I'll briefly overview
the empirical studies
of emotion and childhood stuttering
from the last 16 years.
And then from that,
I will go into a couple of hypotheses
that I have developed
as a result of that work.
And then end with the conclusions.
