First, I'd like to say I enjoyed your article. As a grad student in SLP I'm learning quickly how important it is to keep clients motivated. How would you motivate a teen who is discouraged to the point of wanting to terminate therapy? I know from classes and other articles that many adults who stutter, wished they had continued with their therapy when they were younger. In your opinion, would using future scenarios/goals (ie job interviews) be a helpful motivator? Thank you.
