Kate Behnke (the mother) was an actress in England who became a speech clinician. She believed that the primary cause of stuttering was incoordination of the breathing muscles with those of the vibrating element, which thus delayed production of tone. Laryngeal faults she held to be secondary (from Klingbeil, 1939, p. 130). She also specialized in voice coaching and therapy, as did her husband, Emil. Kate and Emil’s daughter, Kate Emil-Behnke, also became a speech clinician.
