Dr. Allen Montgomery (1961)
Dr. Allen Montgomery grew up with a severe stutter. The summer before entering Miami University to study mathematics, a therapist treated him with Van Riper methods of speech therapy, which virtually eliminated his stutter. That led Allen to 澳门六合彩官网直播, where he studied under Charles Van Riper, and graduated with an M.A. in Speech Pathology in 1961. Since then, he has published extensive research on speech disorders and provided therapy for hundreds of individuals who stutter.
Dr. Allen Montgomery is a research professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of South Carolina. His 57-year career has included teaching at colleges in North Dakota, Iowa, Indiana and as a senior lecturer at the Lincoln Institute in Melbourne, Australia. He was a Research Audiologist at the Army Audiology and Speech Center in Washington, D.C. and a NIH Senior Fellow for the Department of Communicative Disorders and Computer Science. Early in his career, he was an active clinician and now serves as a consultant for the active fluency program at the University of South Carolina.
