About
Torrey M. Loucks is a researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of communication disorders, stuttering treatment, and emerging assistive technologies. His scholarship has made meaningful contributions to understanding how innovative tools can transform clinical practice for individuals who stutter. Loucks has been particularly instrumental in exploring the role of social robots in speech-language pathology, proposing evidence-based scenarios for their integration into stuttering therapy and conducting human-centred investigations with speech-language pathologists to assess their real-world feasibility. His comprehensive survey and review of stuttering treatment approaches from the past two decades, conducted according to rigorous PRISMA guidelines, serves as a valuable synthesizing resource for clinicians and researchers navigating the evolving landscape of intervention strategies. Together, his three most-cited works — collectively accumulating 30 citations since their 2022 publication — reflect a concentrated and timely research agenda that bridges traditional therapeutic frameworks with cutting-edge technologies such as telepractice, virtual reality, and robotics. For students and clinicians interested in the future of communication disorders care, Loucks' work offers both a grounded historical perspective and a forward-thinking vision for more accessible and technology-enhanced stuttering treatment.
