Hi Charlie, Stepheni and Elizabeth - Imagine my surprise upon discovering your article in the conference, as I was perusing the various titles for the first time, and trying to figure out how I could invite participation by students in my course on stuttering! The tricky part is, my course doesn't begin until January. I'll definitely conjure up something, though, and the example you provide is a great model. You call attention to a very real problem, as we try to prepare tomorrow's clinicians with less and less time devoted to stuttering. The argument that 'as a low-incidence disorder, stuttering doesn't warrant as much curriculum' is a weak one, given the complex nature of stuttering and its treatment. I wonder if anyone else has been given this explanation...? Thanks again for your terrific article!
