Stuttering can have devastating effects on psychological development, social adjustment, and the realisation of educational and vocational potential. Best practice treatments for chronic stuttering in adulthood and late adolescence stop or reduce stuttering with a systematic process of speech restructuring. However, speech restructuring treatment for chronic stuttering is specialised and resource intensive. Probably half of Australians with chronic stuttering cannot access such specialised treatment services because of distance and lifestyle factors, and because clinicians do not have the resources to provide the treatment. These problems present a research challenge. The present project aims to meet this challenge by developing an innovative treatment model for adults who stutter based on telehealth. This treatment model will make the treatment accessible to all rural and urban dwelling patients with chronic stuttering, and will make the treatment deliverable by every clinician. The research will have significant impact for many end users.

口吃会对心理发展、社会适应以及教育和职业潜力的实现产生破坏性影响。成人和青少年晚期慢性口吃的最佳治疗方法是通过系统的言语重建过程来停止或减少口吃。然而，慢性口吃的言语重建治疗是专业的和资源密集型的。由于距离和生活方式的因素，可能有一半的慢性口吃澳大利亚人无法获得这种专门的治疗服务，因为临床医生没有资源提供治疗。这些问题提出了一个研究挑战。本项目旨在通过开发一种基于远程保健的口吃成人创新治疗模式来应对这一挑战。这种治疗模式将使所有农村和城市慢性口吃患者都能获得治疗，并使每一位临床医生都能提供治疗。这项研究将对许多最终用户产生重大影响。
