IPF Collaborates with COMARTSCI on Mobile Lab to Study Stuttering in Children
April 26, 2021 - Danielle Fowler
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.
Bridget Walsh, an assistant professor of communicative sciences and disorders at ComArtSci, studies the risk factors in children that lead to chronic stuttering in adulthood. Her research project received a $3.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, but unfortunately, the grant started just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S.
