Title: Stuttering variability: Theoretical and Clinical Implications
Blurb: Stuttering varies. People who stutter experiences differences in their stuttering from situation to situation, from listener to listener, from task to task, and over time. Many potential explanations for this variability have been documented, including social pressures, cognitive reactions, linguistic and possibly motoric complexity of utterances, and more. Moreover, research has shown that variability causes frustration for speakers and for caregivers of children who stutter. This presentation will review some of what is known about stuttering variability, with a focus on methods for measuring variability, accounting for variability in research and clinical applications, and, ultimately, reducing the impact of variability on the lives of people who stutter.
