Harvard researcher Dr. Tiffany Hogan on how speech impacts confidence, learning, and communication

Harvard researcher Dr. Tiffany Hogan on how speech impacts confidence, learning, and communication I recently spoke with Dr. Tiffany Hogan, a Research Associate at Harvard Medical School who studies the connection between speech, language, and literacy. One of the topics that stood out was how communication challenges — including stuttering — can affect confidence and learning, and how the right support can completely change a person’s path. We also talked about: • Why early intervention and awareness matter • How schools can better support students who stutter or have speech differences • The importance of separating communication ability from intelligence or potential I host a podcast called The Speech Collective, where I try to highlight voices and experts working to build more understanding and confidence around speech. 🎧 Here’s the full 19-minute conversation if you’d like to listen:https://youtu.be/oY94T4_mQTA I’d genuinely love to hear — for those who stutter, what do you wish teachers or peers understood better about communication and confidence?
