Seeking Participants who Stutter \*\*\*\*Edit: As of 03.27.2020 I am conducting screenings and no longer accepting participants. However, if this changes and I am able to accept more people for screening, I will update this thread and create a second call-for-participants as a new post in this subreddit. Thank you all for your enthusiasm! In the future, with some grant funding (fingers crossed), I hope to expand upon this study so that I can accept more participants. \*\*\*\* Hello everyone! I am a doctoral student at UConn looking for participants for my dissertation project. I reached out to the moderator of this subreddit and have not heard back, I hope this is okay to post here.
