What causes some people to stutter? It was believed that trauma or anxiety was the root cause, but world-first research has found a genetic link to stuttering, transforming treatment.

Host David Karsten is joined by Professor Janet Beilby, an internationally renowned stuttering expert and Director of the Curtin Stuttering Treatment Clinic. They explore how Beilby and her colleagues have pinpointed the genes associated with stuttering, allowing for early intervention and changing the future of speech science.

David and Janet also discuss the impact stuttering can have on a person, particularly a child, as well as the successful treatment strategies used at the Curtin clinic.
