Research, Policy & Campaigns

Research is how we understand what really works when it comes to therapy and improving outcomes. But it’s also how we listen to the community, so that we can make sure we’re asking the right questions to begin with. So that time, funding, energy and support go where they can have the greatest impact – both in our own work and across the wider sector.

We champion, facilitate and call for greater investment into childhood stammering research. We support it and help shape it, connecting it to real lives and real voices from our community. Voices that become the driving force behind future research, helping to make sure it focuses on what matters most.

With a stronger evidence base, we can also push for policy change. We work with MPs, partners and our community to make sure speech and language therapy is available, accessible and the best it can be.

And through powerful campaigns, we’re changing public perceptions and tackling the stigma around stammering head-on.

Shaping the research & policy agenda

There’s still so much we don’t know about stammering. But now we know where to start. Thanks to our James Lind Alliance project, we’ve identified the top unanswered questions about childhood stammering. With these priorities in hand, we’re now focused on working with researchers to explore the gaps, helping to drive forward the solutions that children and young people need.
