Speech and language problems are common in ADHD. Stuttering may be between 4–26% (Conture, 2001, Riley & Riley, 2000). It may be related to general coordinative tasks anyway like those linked with dyslexia, clumsiness and fine motor tasks. There is a likely role here in some ADHD individuals related to the cerebellum, a part of the brain in the lower back of the skull that handles coordination.
