Wow, there has been so much said on this topic, and so heatedly discussed as well. As an adult who stutters, I am very glad that the SLP community is interested in having dialog with the stuttering community. We may never agree, but robust dialog is so important. That is what prompts thoughts, ideas, and change. I heard from some in self-help that it was not too long ago that SLPs were sort of "unwelcome" at self help meetings and events, and now both groups interact and exchange ideas. I think we have a lot to learn from each other, even when we disagree, or especially when we disagree. --Pam
