 ion: \nLearning to perform music and to speak fluently both rely on the ac
 quisition of extremely precise auditory-motor skills. This process is grea
 tly facilitated by the development of accurate temporal predictions – a fu
 ndamental mechanism underlying rhythm perception and production in both la
 nguage and music. When the capacity to generate precise temporal predictio
 ns is altered, fluent speech production can become challenging. This is t
 he case in stuttering, a neurodevelopmental, early-onset speech fluency 
 disorder which affects around 5-10% of children and adolescents. Using stu
 ttering as an example, this talk addresses the question of how musical rh
 ythm relates to speech motor skills during development. Moreover, it expl
 ores how musical rhythm might be harnessed to support the acquisition of s
 peech motor skills in (pre)adolescents who stutter. Drawing on data from s
 everal studies conducted in Munich (Germany) and Montreal (Canada) with ap
 proximately 200 children and adolescents who do and do not stutter, we wi
 ll examine a) musical and rhythmic differences between these groups, b) l
 inks between speech rate development and sensorimotor synchronization and 
 c) the potential of rhythm training to support speech motor skills in stut
 tering. Overall, this talk provides insights into an underexplored area o
 f stuttering research and seeks to stimulate broader discussion on the int
 erconnectedness of body, mind, language, and music.We encourage in-pers
 on attendance, but if you are unable to attend in person, please join us
