Hi, Money is almost everything in this world and everything cost money. My question is: Is it true that there are more funding available for other speech disorders like aphasia? And more money for research on childhood stuttering? As stuttering researchers, is getting grants and government or private funding a major problem? I imagine this is why East Carolina Universtiy hooked up with Janus to develope the SpeechEasy. Will the situation improve in the future (more money for stuttering research)? What about the availability of funding for stuttering research in the U.S. vs. Great Britain vs. Australia. I mean, if there was a $30 million grant over 20 years from the federal government for a collaborative interdisciplinary team effort, maybe we can have a breakthrough on the cause of stuttering and form a consensus on stuttering treatment.
