Like an old-fashioned scale we have to weigh the cognitive issues from the physical and prioritize on an individual basis. Hugo Gregory used the term 'differential diagnosis." Keen interview skills help root out covert stuttering issues. Some stutter so severely that immediate physical skills will 1) help reduce struggle / increase locus of control, 2) make interviewing easier. You then adjust according to patients needs. This is what makes stuttering therapy so rewarding. A clinician will learn every day!
