Curriculum Vitae

Assistant Professor of Communication Disorders

Ph.D., The Pennsylvania State University, 1999

Dr. Gabel's primary research interest is the handicapping and psychosocial effects of stuttering and other communication disorders. Presently, he is completing several studies exploring stereotyping of people who stutter, especially related to how stereotyping limits vocational choices. He is also working to develop projects that explore how stuttering affects social, educational, employment, and therapeutic experiences. Other areas of interest include experiences and knowledge that speech-language pathologists report toward treating people who stutter and developing measurements of therapeutic interventions with stuttering.
