GUEST BIO

Naomi Rodgers, Ph.D., CCC-SLP is an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She directs the UNL Stuttering Lab where her holistic experiences as a person who stutters, active member of the self-help community, speech-language pathologist, and stuttering researcher inspire her to address empirical questions that are clinically grounded. She is specifically interested in growing our understanding of how people who stutter get ready to change, and how people who stutter process social-emotional information.

Research

Researchers at the Stuttering Labs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Western Michigan University are inviting adults who stutter to participate in a research survey. This survey aims to understand how adults who stutter think about making a positive change to their stuttering. They would greatly appreciate hearing your perspective.

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes and needs to be completed in one sitting. If you’re interested in participating, you can access the survey by clicking on this link: https://go.unl.edu/stutter-survey

Upon completion of the survey, you can enter a drawing for one of 100 $25 Amazon gift cards.

If you have any questions about this study, please contact Naomi Rodgers at naomi.rodgers@unl.edu or Hope Gerlach at hope.gerlach@wmich.edu.

Thanks so much for your consideration!
