Stuttering and its Management: What the Brain Tells Us - Hardcover

by William G. Webster (Author)

In Stuttering and Its Management, William Webster shares his academic research into the brain mechanisms underlying stuttering, as well as his lifelong journey as a person who stutters. Webster explores the differences in patterns of brain activation in those who stutter and describes his Two-Factor Interference Model which can inform strategies for the effective management of stuttering. Stuttering and Its Management offers a number of practical approaches to improving speech fluency.

People who stutter will gain insight into the cause and nature of their stuttering, and family and friends, teachers, and mentors will gain insight into how best to encourage and support those who stutter. The book may also be useful for students and professionals who work with people who stutter. Webster is a testament to the fact that stuttering does not have to limit career choices, activities, or the social life of a person who stutters.
