Vaccines Do Not Cause Stuttering (Ep. 662)
Bob "The Expert" Quesal joins Peter Reitzes to discuss a parent's concern that vaccines cause stuttering. Bob and Peter point out that parents often blame themselves for their child's stuttering and often attach an event, such as falling off a bike, to the onset of stuttering. They urge professionals to respond to parents with empathy while explaining that vaccines are not the cause of stuttering.
