Briefings

Researchers at Binghamton University found that personal stories of stuttering offer new insights into therapy, challenging the traditional medical model focused solely on eliminating speech breaks. The study involved Rodney Gabel, a professor of speech-language pathology, and Ladan Khoshbin, a doctoral student in the Community Research and Action program, who emphasized that progress begins with listening to individuals' lived experiences rather than just clinical metrics.

Key points

• Rodney Gabel is a professor of speech-language pathology at Binghamton University.
• Ladan Khoshbin is a doctoral student in the Community Research and Action program at Binghamton University.

Context

This research challenges the prevailing medical model in speech-language therapy, which has historically prioritized eliminating speech breaks over understanding the human experience of stuttering.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a single study involving two researchers at Binghamton University. No specific dates, numbers, or outcomes are provided beyond the researchers' roles and the shift in research focus.
