Are you working towards stammering openly and spontaneously rather than fluently? If so, Anicca Hanlon from Manchester Metropolitan University would love you to complete her online questionnaire.
For her Masters degree research project, Anicca wants to understand what influences confidence in speaking. She's designed a questionnaire to find out how accepted, supported and empowered you feel, and how confident you are when speaking spontaneously.
Anicca's online questionnaire (see the link below) should take 10-15 minutes to complete. To take part, you need to:
- be aged 18 or over
- identify as someone who stammers
- be aiming for spontaneous stammering (rather than speech fluency)
She hopes the findings could help shape more supportive and person-centred approaches for people who stammer. Ones that focus on wellbeing and spontaneous communication rather than just fluency.
This study has been approved by the STAMMA Research Panel — read more about this process.
