I appreciate your approach to stuttering therapy, which stressed the importance of using effective strategies and tools in functional communication situations. When you discussed "practice groups," for teens who stutter, is this similar to support groups? Also, many emotional factors which can influence self-esteem are important aspects to consider and probably more so with teens. To what extent do you think counseling is appropriate in the realm of speech therapy (specifically stuttering therapy) ,which involve the client, parents, etc. ?
