Harnessing virtual reality to understand childhood stuttering. The VR environments offer a realistic context, addressing the challenge that laboratory results often fail to capture real-life speech dynamics.
Her mission? To put a speech development lab on wheels to reach children and families far from her brick-and-mortar lab on the East Lansing campus.
Michigan children participating in research about the causes of stuttering can now be visited by a mobile lab after IPF assisted a College of Communication Arts and Sciences professor with acquiring and customizing an RV.
Assistant Professor of Communicative Sciences and Disorders Bridget Walsh, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, will study the risk factors in children that lead to chronic stuttering in adulthood, in a research project funded by a $3.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. Her research focuses on a narrow window of early childhood, when stuttering emerges.
