Hi Margaret, I think Lynne makes an excellent point here, and that perhaps you could also have a conversation with the teacher and the parents about what is "good enough". Being more fluent is nice, but you don't want to get to the point where she is stressing to be more fluent, leading to an increase in real stuttering... If she is comfortable in class, and is contributing as she would if she did not stutter, and is participating fully with only mild stuttering, I agree with Lynne that your job is only to make sure that that continues, rather than to reach some fluency ideal that those around her may have. Hope that makes sense. Joe
