Beschreibung:
Kenneth O. St. Louis is a professor in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders at West Virginia University with 40 years of experience in teaching, treating, and researching fluency disorders. St. Louis is a cofounder of the International Fluency Association and the International Cluttering Association, with recognitions of ASHA Fellowship, the Deso Weiss Award for Excellence in cluttering, WVU's Benedum Distinguished Scholar Award, and WVU's Heebink Award for Outstanding Service to the State of West Virginia. In 1999, he founded the International Project on Attitudes Toward Human Attributes and has collaborated with numerous colleagues internationally on measuring public attitudes toward stuttering.
More than a century of research has sought to identify the causes of stuttering, describe its nature, and enhance its clinical treatment. By contrast, studies directly focused upon public and professional attitudes toward stuttering began in the 1970s. Recent work has taken this research to new levels, including the development of standard attitude measures; addressing the widely reported phenomena of teasing, bullying, and discrimination against people who stutter; and attempting to change public opinion toward stuttering to more accepting and sensitive levels.
