🌍✨ Thrilled to share some highlights from our recent meeting at the University of the Western Cape, where we’re working together in an exciting collaboration between our research team at VUB, SAY IT Labs, and the University of the Western Cape! Our project centers on a cutting-edge language therapy game designed for children who stutter. Stuttering can deeply impact self-esteem, and our goal is to support young people in overcoming stigma and building confidence through innovative therapeutic approaches. 🗣️💡 Additionally, I had the privilege of giving a lecture on"Idiom comprehension, from healthy aging to Alzheimer's disease". Engaging with the bright students and dedicated staff members was truly inspiring, and their perspectives brought invaluable insights to the discussion. A heartfelt thank you to our collaborators: Prof. Dr. Stefanie Keulen (VUB), Dr. Silke Coemans (VUB); Dr. Lukas Latacz (SAY IT Labs), Mr. Erich Reiter (SAY IT Labs); and Prof Mantoa Motinyane (Smouse)(UWC), Dr. Khanyiso Mwanda-Jonas(UWC), and Ms. Patience Onowode(UWC). This collaboration holds so much promise, and I’m excited to see where it leads! Let’s continue breaking barriers and building awareness, one innovative project at a time! 👏💬 #StutteringAwareness #LanguageTherapy #Collaboration #VUB #UWC #SayItLabs
