Many research laboratories are conducting excellent research on stuttering. Following is a list of ongoing studies that you can participate in.

The Developmental Speech Lab at Michigan State University is inviting 3- to 18-year-old children who stutter, their parent/caregiver, and their SLP to participate in a series of online surveys assessing the impact of stuttering on children and their families (Study #00001704). Children, parents, and SLPs will receive a $10.00-30.00 Amazon gift card (depending upon survey length) for each survey they complete.

The Kraft Behavior, Speech & Genetics Lab at Wayne State University is conducting exciting research to investigate the connections between developmental stuttering and co-occurring, unassociated health conditions. We are analyzing any possible links between the underlying genetics of disorders as well as looking to further understand the health-related sequela of stuttering. We are inquiring about a variety of disorders, ranging from acne to anemia. You can access the anonymous survey at the following link: https://waynestate.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b7vRtCaUTh7nEAB. This research has been approved by the Wayne State Institutional Review Board, IRB-20-01-1731. For additional information, questions, or concerns, please contact elerose@wayne.edu.
