Speech motor skills study for neurotypical speakers and those with stuttering or dyslexia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how different people control their speech muscles, comparing neurotypical speakers to adults who stutter or have dyslexia. It could help us understand why some people have trouble producing fluent speech.
