Be the change you want to see in the world Hey everyone, I just want to say that the only way for us to make progress in understanding stuttering is through advancements in research. These advancements can only happen if we participate in stuttering research. There are too many people making ridiculous claims on stuttering. Enough is enough, we can't let those who want to exploit us win. The sad reality is that they are out there. Stuttering has a genetic component, we all know this. Someday you may be a father, or mother, or already are. I encourage everyone to participate in any research that is available to you. If you see an Ad, go for it. When you see your doctor or SLP next, ask about any opportunities to get involved in research. You will be doing something extremely beneficial by participating in research for you, your future or current children, and the millions of other people around the world who stutter. We are 1% of the population. This may not seem much but that means literally 80 million people stutter worldwide. Get out there and be the change you want to see in the world.
