About Our Co-Host:

Dr. Ryan Pollard, Ph.D. CCC-SLP BCS-SCF is an associate clinical professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. Along with teaching undergraduate and graduate courses (including the graduate fluency and counseling classes), he supervises individual therapy for clients who stutter and clutter, and an adult stuttering support group. He also started the Colorado Speaks summer camp for adolescents who stutter. Ryan has a passion for training clinicians in holistic stuttering therapy and advocating for those who stutter. To that end, he leads workshops for SLPs and parents, has been involved with SAY for over a decade, and is a board member of FRIENDS: The National Association for Young People Who Stutter. Alongside his work as an academic and speech therapist, Ryan is a published author of literary fiction that centers the experiences of people with disabilities.
