Happy National Coffee Day ☕

For many people who stutter, it can feel easier to order something that they can say fluently than to stutter through ordering what they actually want.

At the Iowa Stuttering Lab, we’re all about ordering exactly what you want, stutter and all. Just like Claire Beckman, who rocked her drive-through order today!

Cheers to that ☕

🎬 Supporting cast: people who stutter willing to share their truth, an academic librarian who knows where all the studies are buried, and the conviction that fluency isn’t the best part of the story.

Please consider sharing your experiences with us through research! In this project, we are continuing our work in the trauma-informed sphere by developing a new tool that clinicians and researchers can use to understand the lasting social-emotional effects of stuttering.

It takes a village to move our field forward, and we're grateful for the NSA's support in spreading the word about this project.

How can researchers better understand the lasting social-emotional effects some people experience because of stuttering? Researchers at the Iowa Stuttering Lab are inviting adults who stutter to participate in a study about their lived experiences!

Their goal is to develop a new tool that can deepen understanding and support trauma-informed practices within the stuttering community. You may be eligible if you identify as a person who stutters, are at least 18 years old, live in the US or Canada, and use English as your primary language.

Participation includes a brief eligibility screener followed by a 30-minute online survey for those who qualify. Raffle compensation is provided to eligible participants who complete the survey.
