CARYN HERRING, ROISIN MCMANUS, and JOEL KORTE (the “Stuttertalk B Team”) begin the show by discussing a stuttering dream Roisin had minutes before they began recording. The dream revolves around Roisin’s role speaking at an upcoming wedding, so the group discusses different ways Roisin may or may not want to advertise. Later, Joel talks about working as a Speech-Language Pathologist. The B Team wraps up the show by discussing an experience Caryn recently had at a special needs exhibition.
Katherine Preston joins Peter Reitzes to discuss her new book Out With It: How Stuttering Helped Me Find My Voice. Katherine’s wonderful new book tells her stuttering story while weaving in the thoughts and voices of leading professionals and other stutterers. During today’s episode Katherine discusses her decision to move to New York from England in pursuit of writing a memoir on stuttering, embracing stuttering and the stuttering community and interviewing more than 100 stutterers, self help leaders, leading researchers and therapists.
KATHERINE PRESTON is a freelance writer, motivational public speaker and is the Creative Director and Co-Founder of the cell phone recycling business ExchangeMyPhone. Raised in England, Preston now lives in Brooklyn, NY.
Deryk Beal, PhD, R-SLP, CCC-SLP, joins Peter Reitzes to discuss brain imaging research, related research and stuttering. Dr. Beal is asked about structural and functional brain imaging research with people who stutter. Dr. Beal is asked to consider this research in relation to gender, severity, recovery, persistency, covert stuttering (passing as fluent), singing, cerebral dominance, other speech disorders (such as apraxia), treatment, relapse and much more. Deryk also discusses deep brain stimulation and direct current stimulation.
DR. DERYK BEAL is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology and the Executive Director of the Institute for Stuttering Treatment and Research (ISTAR) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. Dr. Beal’s research program aims to understand the neurobiological origins of speech production, stuttering and associated disorders of speech motor control at multiple levels of organization. Deryk’s ultimate goal is to leverage this knowledge for improv cal treatment via genetic risk assessment for dysfluent speech and the development of novel pharmaceutical and neurorehabilitative interventions.
