Dr. Barbara Amster, Director of the SLHS Program, who nominated Starkweather, described him as “an individual whose contributions over more than 40 years have promoted and enhanced the public and professional understanding of the nature of stuttering and its treatment." She added, "Many of the books and articles he has written are now classics in the field of speech-language pathology." Pictured are Amster with Starkweather at the award ceremony.
