Episode #209: Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for people who stutter! On this episode, I chat with Nottingham Trent University Masters student, Gareth Walkom, who is currently developing software using virtual reality to help people who stutter reduce speaking anxiety and improve eye contact. Joining our conversation is Gareth’s advisor and previous Stuttering is Cool guest, Grant Meredith, Associate Dean (Student Retention and Success) for the Faculty of Science and Technology at Federation University Australia and designer of Scenari-Aid, a website with over 100 streaming video scenarios for people to practice their needs.
