is Associate Professor and Director of the stuttering and vvariability (savvy) lab at New York University. His research examines the variability of stuttering—why people stutter on some words in some situations, but not on those same words in other situations. Dr. Jackson uses a multi-leveled approach including neural, behavioral, and qualitative methods to study social-cognitive and anticipatory processes as sources of stuttering variability. He is also a speech-language pathologist and clinical educator with more than 15 years of experience, as well as a person who stutters. Dr. Jackson’s overarching goal is to use basic science approaches, his clinical expertise, and his deep knowledge of the human experience to inform support mechanisms and intervention approaches to improve the lives of children and adults who stutter.
