[Eng] In this episode, I introduce you to the important concepts to know if you're interested in stuttering in a multilingual context. I present the thesis work of Selma Saad, supervised by Kurt Eggers, on bilingual Lebanese children, which showed that specific assessments must be carried out on bilingual children in the event of stuttering. I'd also like to come back to Paula Sousa Mumy's proposals on the need to value multilingualism and the cultures in which a child who stutters grows up, to foster his or her personal development.
