Summary
Anxiety-related mental health disorders, particularly social phobia, are common comorbid conditions among adults who stutter. This project establishes randomised controlled trial evidence for the psychological benefits of our Internet CBT treatment.

Summary
Debilitating social anxiety is common in stutering. Cognitive behaviour therapy can successfully treat the social anxiety of those who stutter. However, at present the clinical translation of that advance is not possible. The team has developed a solution to this problem with computerised, internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy. The clinical trial in this research has potential to translate the clinical advance to millions of people who stutter worldwide..

Funding Amount

Summary
Stuttering is a chronic communication disorder that arises from problems in the brain processes that control speech. This research will use a new and extremely fast method of brain imaging to study the parts of the human brain that underlie speech production. We will identify brain problems that contribute to stuttering at the time when stuttering first begins. Identification of brain problems is likely to significantly improve the efficacy of stuttering treatment.
