After reviewing your article, I have a few questions. Has there been any thought into having those specifically trained in fluency approaching their local school systems in order to let them know that the training is out there and we are here to help? Also, what is a good time period for therapy sessions on children who stutter? I am a 1st year graduate student in my first internship and have a 5 year old child who stutters. I see him once a week for 50 minutes at a time. Sometimes, I feel that he is not making any progress and could benefit from more sessions. Would you suggest that I increase the number of his sessions? How do you address this to the parent without offending them? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for your time. Rhian
