Dr. Nan Bernstein Ratner joins Peter Reitzes to discuss FluencyBank, a shared repository for existing and future data relevant to fluency and stuttering research. This initiative will track fluency development in typical children, those who stutter, late-talking children and children raised bilingually. FluencyBank seeks to illuminate the various conditions that may impact fluency, such as language impairment, language competition, planning processes, linguistic structures, and conversational pressures.
