Nathan Maxfield, PhD, CCC-SLP, an associate professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD), has been invited to serve as an associate editor for the Journal of Fluency Disorders. This journal is the official journal of the World Stuttering & Cluttering Organization and recognized as the only journal devoted specifically to speech fluency disorders.
The editor-in-chief of the journal pointed toward Maxfield's "great expertise in the field of fluency disorders and their neurological underpinnings" as reasoning for his selection for the position. This invitation also reflects the international recognition of Maxfield's research.
The Journal of Fluency Disorders provides comprehensive coverage of clinical, experimental, and theoretical aspects of speech fluency disorders, in particular of stuttering and cluttering, including contemporary and evidence-based interventions. The journal publishes scientific articles on all topics related to speech fluency disorders.
Maxfield's term will run for three years, beginning Sept. 1.
