Advancing stuttering research and education, we explore causal and contributing factors, treatments, and train students.

About the research group

The Stuttering Research Group, part of the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Ghent University, Belgium, is committed to high-quality research and education.

We teach stuttering and cluttering courses in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences and support students in acquiring relevant research skills.

About the research group
