2. What is the problem?
There are many different speech
therapies dealing with disfluency, with
no one being a proven cure for all.
Does being a designer, or thinking as a
designer would, offer the foundation
for a new method of therapy?

3. Hypothesis
By studying and evaluating proven
methodologies of design, along
with established speech therapies, a
new therapeutic method to control
and alleviate speech disfluency can be
created.
