Click here for full details of how this research was carried out
We requested feedback from students approximately 6 months after they started the online course. Between November 2020 and November 2023, fifty students responded to this request. Specifically…
- Thirty four of these 50 students confirmed that they had worked through at least one of the modules of the online course.
- Sixteen of these 50 students simply responded to our information requests to say that, for one reason or another, they had never started the course.
Feedback from the 34 students who worked through at least one module of the Online Course
- Fifteen of these students reported having experienced significant ongoing benefits from the course. (5 of whom provided OASES data).
- Eight reported having experienced some ongoing benefits. (3 of whom provided OASES data).
- One experienced a few weeks of remission followed by complete relapse.
- Two reported not experiencing any benefits at all.
- Eight didn’t provide enough detail or provided ambiguous responses.

OASES questionnaire responses from Students
When people first contact us (via the “Questionnare to complete before starting the online course”) we immediately request them to complete an OASES questionnaire. We then ask them to complete follow-up OASES questionnaires 6, 12, and 24 months later.
The data from these OASES questionnaires are particularly valuable as they enable us to quantify the severity of a person’s stammering (along a series of dimensions) and to quantify changes in stammering severity that have occurred at each re-test.
Between November 2020 and November 2023, Out of the 8 students who completed follow-up OASES questionnaires, their responses indicate that…
- five have experienced significant remission of overt and/or covert symptoms over a period of at least 6 months, (four for at least a year, and two for at least 2 years).
- three experienced transient remission of overt and/or covert symptoms but then partially relapsed.
