Bio:

John Madison Fletcher was an early pioneer in the field of speech-pathology. He was a psychologist, who stuttered, and whose major research interest was to scientifically study the nature of stuttering. He argued that stuttering therapies should be carried out by psychologists and school personnel and not be left to physicians who had too little time and knowledge to do a good job.

Fletcher's scientific approach to stuttering influenced many other scholars of his time. Of special note is his influence on Lee Edward Travis, who was one of the founders of ASHA and a proponent of the brain laterality theory of stuttering.
