Are you an adult who stammers? Mahmoud from the University of Leicester invites you to take part in a new research study.
Mahmoud is investigating whether adults who stammer and dyslexic adults share some of the same challenges with verbal fluency.
They say, "We know that both groups can sometimes find it hard to get their words out, but we do not know why. By exploring these shared challenges, we hope to learn more about how our brains produce language. Plus, how that might be different for people who stammer".
What does it involve?
Email Mahmoud to receive a link to an online study session, where you will play some fun language-based games and answer some questions. The session will last between one hour and 45 minutes to two hours.
As a thank you for your time, Mahmoud will give you a £20 voucher that you can use in a range of shops.
You need to be aged 18+, and a native English speaker (learned English before the age of 5) who stammers.
Why take part?
Mahmoud says, "We believe this research will help to reframe stammering as a natural part of a person's neurodiversity, just like dyslexia. This can help reduce the stigma around stammering and lead to better, more effective support".
