		<title>Stuttering: The Last Frontier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A twitter buddy (@suhrmesa) sent me this story, and it&#8217;s definitely worth our time&#8211;although it will be shocking to no one.  Apparently, Sheila Crump Johnson was caught (on video no less) mocking a political candidate because he stutters.  The comment made to me was something akin to, &#8220;stuttering is the only remaining minority group in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The prodigal stutterer returns&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been some interesting research of late, one of which I am quite excited about.  How the brain repairs stuttering seems to be written by people who truly get stuttering.  First off, they&#8217;ve defined stuttering as a neurodevelopmental disorder, which is a breath of fresh air.  They&#8217;re treating the pathology like a science..  Anyway&#8211;what I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trusting the experiential common sense of stuttering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an exchange with my stuttering buddy Pam, who has recently experienced a relatively sudden evolution in overt stuttering behaviors.  New secondary stuttering behaviors include throat and laryngeal tension.  She told an SLP, who suggested she try (whole-body) relaxation techniques and laryngeal massage (i.e., massaging your neck).
Are any stutterers out there buying this?  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>When the ti-ger&#8217;s on the run&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been offline a bit over the summer, and haven&#8217;t been able to read up and reply to others as much as I&#8217;d like.  Recently, I got a comment by Pam, discussing the personal evolution of stuttering.  In essence (and I hope I&#8217;m getting this right), she feels as if her stuttering behaviors have changed, [...]]]></description>

		<title>On stuttering patients&#8217; opinions of Digital Speech Aids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty interesting to see how the stuttering subculture (and the professional SLP subculture) have evolved.  When the SpeechEasy first came out, it was perceived (and touted by many) to represent an absolute evil.  And this initial reaction was pretty funny for me to witness; it reminded me of headless crowd of professionals all hustling [...]]]></description>

		<title>The role of eye-gaze diversion in the breakdown of communication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s refreshing to see a legitimately new research idea in press.  And if the idea is of good quality, I get all the more excited.  This research article measures the eye gaze of listeners as they are exposed to stuttering.  (In other words, special equipment recorded where the listeners were looking as they saw stuttered [...]]]></description>

		<title>The interpretation of therapy results fails when the treatment teaches to the test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m really at a loss if I should keep pointing out the cargo-cult pseudoscience in the field of SLP.  But alas, here&#8217;s another example&#8211;including many of the same researchers on this little gem.  This study is measures the effects of syllable-timed speech to treat preschool children who stutter.  In English&#8211;this means&#8230;&#8221;Does talking like a slow [...]]]></description>

		<title>A perfect example of how flawed thinking results in flawed (and useless) data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article is both rich and ripe with fodder.  I hardly know where to begin, but let&#8217;s trudge through this together.  The title: &#8220;The relationship between mental health disorders and treatment outcomes among adults who stutter.&#8220;  Again, let&#8217;s look at the assumptions the authors are making.  Do we see articles on mental health disorders and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuttering, circa 1950</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About 12 years ago, I was at my wife&#8217;s grandparents house&#8230;where I ran into a relic of the past.  An encyclopedia set.  (!)  So I looked up &#8220;stuttering&#8221;, and here&#8217;s what I got:
Stuttering, sometimes called stammering, is a form of anxiety tension, manifested as a disturbance in the fluency of speech, motivated by an apprehensive [...]]]></description>
