What a wonderful tool to use in stuttering therapy. I can certainly understand the hesitation of many as they begin the "labratory" portion of the program; putting your abilities on stage is a scary thing, even without stuttering as an obstacle. This opportunity to focus on non-verbals is a powerful thing; we forget the strength of communication in other mediums. As all of life is a scaled-down version of a dramatic performance, this serves as a great functional tool.
