Thanks for your comments. In our self-help group we try to do both – rebuild confidence in ourselves – and we also practice basic fluency enhancing techniques – like slow flow reading, group discussions, mini-speech in front of the group, relaxation exercises, role playing etc. It is my belief that there is an articulation or at least a strong link between the two aspects of therapy, and I would like to thank you for shedding light on this. In fact, I now realize that we have been doing both activities simultaneously – without distinguishing one from the other. All of this forms part of our journey towards a fluent speech!
