STARS & The New York Times: The New Science of Stuttering

The New York Times Science Times explores how experts are reaching consensus on what stuttering is, featuring the Interdisciplinary Consensus Guidelines on Stuttering developed by STARS’ international panel of more than 30 psychiatrists, neuroscientists, speech-language pathologists, and individuals who stutter. The article highlights Gerald A. Maguire, MD, Founder and Chair of STARS, and the panel’s finding that stuttering is a brain-based disorder related to psychiatric conditions like ADHD and Tourette syndrome, along with the growing conversation around how best to treat it.
