Rick, you wrote: What are some of the valid subgroups in stuttering? Is covert stuttering really a diff. category, or is covert stuttering just stuttering. - - - - - Covert means covered. People who stutter covertly may be working quite hard to avoid sounds or words they are afraid they may not say fluently. I once evaluated a woman who sounded quite fluent initially, but the story she told me of the effort she put into planning her utterances to be fluent was amazing. It was very draining for her.
