This piece of research was very insightful especially from the point of view of how the clients perceive speech therapy. I am a 1st year graduate student and I am interested to know two things, 1. What makes a clinician a specialist? Is it years of work experience with a certain population? a Masters/Phd? 2. Since quite a number of people in this study found speech therapy more useful in terms of shaping their 'attitudes' rather than their 'fluency', would this imply that stuttering modification has better prognosis than fluency shaping methods?
