Traditional speech-language therapy for people who stutter has largely operated under a medical model focused on eliminating dysfluency—breaks in the normal rhythm of speech. But for Rodney Gabel, a professor of speech-language pathology at Binghamton University, and Ladan Khoshb
Traditional speech-language therapy for people who stutter has largely operated under a medical model focused on eliminating dysfluency—breaks in the normal rhythm of speech. But for Rodney Gabel, a professor of speech-language pathology at Binghamton University, and Ladan Khoshbin, a doctoral student in Binghamton's Community Research and Action program, true progress in stuttering research begins with listening to people's stories.
