Carol Hubbard Seery, Ph.D., CCC/SLP 

Associate Professor 

Interests and Expertise
Professor Seery investigates the nature of stuttering and fluent speech to increase our understanding and intervention with individuals who struggle to speak more easily. Her research is focused on subtypes and risk factors that may influence the onset and development of stuttering. Dr. Seery is the site director for the UWM Stuttering Evaluation Project associated with the research program titled "Subtypes and Associated Risk Factors in Stuttering," grant #R01-DC05210-01 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. National Institutes of Health, principal investigator, Ehud Yairi. The project, funded through 2007, targets a 5-year longitudinal investigation of young children under age 6 who have just begun to stutter. In addition, studies are being conducted with school-aged children (ages 81/2 to 11 years) and adults (25 to 55 years) who stutter. An article about this project may be found at the following website: http://www.news.uiuc.edu/gentips/02/05stutter.html Dr. Seery serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Communication Disorders.
