#345: Clinician-Free Treatment for Stuttering
Listen now
Description
Approximately one per cent of the Australian population stutters and the impact of the condition can be severe. While stuttering is treatable, the treatment is resource intensive and costly, and for many is inaccessible to access effectively. Dr Shane Erickson is leading a team to develop an internet-based tool that effectively delivers speech restructuring treatment for chronic stuttering. He hopes it will be available towards the end of 2014, and be accessible to anyone in the world for free. Copyright 2014 La Trobe University, all rights reserved. Contact for permissions.
