stuttering in signed languages

[Rachel Channon]

I would think the size and consequent relative slowness of the articulators
might have something to do with a probably lower rate of sign stuttering.
Although we do have a kind of trilled motion in sign, it seems much more
voluntary than the kind of vibrating motion that occurs in speech. Aren't
speech stutterers taught to slow down their articulation?
