Brief Summary

Dyslexia is a common neurodevelopmental condition, which manifests itself in the form of reading difficulties and occurs in 7-10% of the population (Peterson \& Pennington, 2012). As for dyslexia, it is one of the most common learning disorders and the most common cause of difficulties with reading, writing, and spelling. The global prevalence of dyslexia is estimated to be between 5% and 10% of the population, but it may be as high as 17% (Sprenger-Charolles et al., 2011). Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized by involuntary, audible, or silent repetitions or prolongations of sounds or syllables, along with disturbances in the fluency of verbal phrases.Stuttering and dyslexia are two processing deficits that have an impact on a person's social and academic lives, especially as they usually affect the pediatric population more than adults. Even though they affect different domains, they have similar characteristics in their pathogenesis, epidemiology, and impact on life (Algaidy et al., 2023). The aim of the study will be to identify the prevelance of dyslexia in developmental stuttering.
