Molly Landers, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a Ph.D. student in Communicative Sciences and Disorders at Michigan State University. She earned her B.S. and M.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Oklahoma State University, completing a master’s thesis titled “Rootedness and Prelateral Mergers in Oklahoma.”
She is currently the lab manager of the Spartan Stuttering Lab and is conducting research on the variability of stuttering under the direction of Dr. J. Scott Yaruss. Molly is a speech-language pathologist and has primarily worked with pediatric populations.
Her research interests include stuttering, specifically self-help for people who stutter and the lived experience of stuttering.
Upon completion of her Ph.D., she hopes to combine her clinical, teaching, and research interests to educate others in higher education. Molly hopes to provide ways for people who stutter to improve their lives, in whatever way they wish. This includes improving SLPs understanding of stuttering and how to treat it, increasing access and awareness to self-help options, and directly providing excellent clinical services to people who stutter.
