It
is with great excitement that we finally can announce to
everybody that Dr. Linn Stokke Guttormsen has been
appointed as the successful post doc for the EST-project!
Linn graduated as a speech language therapist (SLT) at the University of Oslo in 2010. After her graduation she has worked as a special needs teacher, pedagogical-psychological counselor/advisor and an SLT for school-aged children. During her work as a SLT she realized that stuttering was without a doubt the most interesting disorder to be immersed in, and she therefore applied for a PhD position within the field of fluency disorders.
In her PhD, Linn has focused on how children are affected by stuttering. Together with Kefalianos and Næss, she summarized the literature on children’s self-report of communication attitudes. They found that children who stutter have more negative attitudes towards their speech than children who do not stutter and that the differences between attitudes increased with age.
We warmly welcome you on board, Linn!

Linn views her current position as a post
doc in the EST-project as an exciting new step. Getting the opportunity to investigate
and implement best practice for young children who stutter motivates her.
Additionally, she mentions that she is very grateful for the opportunity to be
a part of such a great team.
