Virtual Reality and Stuttering: Challenges and Prospects

This webinar discusses the potential benefits of virtual reality (VR) as a complementary tool in supporting people who stutter. It explains what VR is, its possible applications, the mechanisms underpinning it, and the studies that have examined its use with people who stutter. It will also open up a discussion on the limitations of the current evidence and possible avenues for further development.
