Description

Stuttering is an often misunderstood condition, from research to Hollywood. This talk will discuss myths and current research in terms of how stuttering may occur and how stuttering is treated. Participants can expect to learn answers to questions such as, do children simply grow out of stuttering, or is someone who stutters simply anxious? The lab’s recent findings from following up with previous research participants will be discussed to elucidate the intricacies of recovery from stuttering.

Shanley Treleaven is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Speech Neurophysiology Lab and an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist. She received her PhD from Louisiana State University and completed her clinical training at the University of Alabama. Her research includes timing of neural functioning for individuals who stutter as well as more clinical-focused projects such as recovery and persistence of stuttering and linguistic aspects of stuttering.
