Second part of a 2-part episode, Ezra is joined again by guests Nicole (CCC-SLP) and Jenny (PWS) to wrap up their discussion of Wendell Johnson and Mary Tudor's "Monster Study" of 1939, and how it relates to 2023 speech therapy practices.
Is today's speech therapy for stuttering doing what this "monstrous" study did... with a pretty bow on it? The three discuss comments from Mary Tudor in 1939, and then examples from a 2019 'fluency bank' - 80 years later.
Guests:
Nicole Kulmaczewski - CCC-SLP and Deputy Director of MySpeechApp
Jenny McGuire - person who stutters and Executive Director of MySpeechApp
