TranscendingX - Raw Conversations and Practical Tips to Break Through Stuttering, Communication Fears, and Become Who You Truly Are

Naomi Rodgers, Ph.D., CCC-SLP is an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She directs the UNL Stuttering Lab where her holistic experiences as a person who stutters, active member of the self-help community, speech-language pathologist, and stuttering researcher inspire her to address empirical questions that are clinically grounded. She is specifically interested in growing our understanding of how people who stutter get ready to change, and how people who stutter process social-emotional information.
