Oliver Bloodstein, PhD, CCC-SLP, was Emeritus Professor of Speech and former director of the program in speech-language pathology and audiology at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. One of the first generation of speech and hearing scientists to graduate from the first doctoral program in our discipline at the University of Iowa, his contributions to the field of fluency and fluency disorders were unique and inspired multiple succeeding generations of researchers, continuing to this day. His entire career was spent in research, teaching, and clinical work on stuttering and he wrote extensively on the subject. He was a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the recipient of its highest award, the Honors of the Association. 
 Nan Bernstein Ratner, EdD, CCC, is Professor in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, University of Maryland at College Park. With degrees in Child Studies, Speech-Language Pathology, and Applied Psycholinguistics, she is the editor of numerous volumes, and author of numerous chapters and articles addressing stuttering as well as child language acquisition/disorders. Dr. Bernstein Ratner is a Fellow and Honors recipient of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2006, she was presented with the Distinguished Researcher Award by the International Fluency Association. To be able to work with Oliver Bloodstein on the Handbook was an honor and a joy, since his work was the primary inspiration for her first research study and professional publication. She hopes someday to inspire others to the degree that he inspired her work in stuttering.
