Would the professors here support the establishment by ASHA of a dedicated ombudsman for the treatment of stuttering? Such a separate office would investigate complaints from consumers about violations of ASHA standards including the failings and deficiencies I cited in last year's Online ISAD Conference at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/cahn_mnsu_edu/11profin/_disc3/000000aa.htm The stuttering ombudsman would also provide an effective avenue for whistle-blowers within the profession regarding the above. My view is that a dedicated ombudsman for stuttering would prove far more accessible to all concerned than ASHA's existing "procedures." — Ed Feuer, edfeuer@mts.net
