Hi, I have a question regarding Responsibilities of the Client and the SLP. Is the SLP only responsible for teaching the client the "technique" like vowel proglongation and the onus is on the PWS to practice and practice and practice? When there is failure in speech therapy...either the client not making any positive progress or bad relapse. Who is responsible for it? (who is to blame...is it right for the SLP to not accept any responsiblity) With stuttering treatment, is it all about motivation or is there a limit. No matter how hard the client is willing to work...sometimes he/she needs to accept his/her stuttering (and the SLP needs to not always focus on 100% fluency or allow the PWS to stutter a little bit)
