My fluency class was discussing a situational problem for a SLP. Here it is, if a client comes to you and has a stutter, but is comfortable with the stutter would you (the SLP) still continue therapy. I went further and asked my class and professor, what if the client was a doctor, and how would an SLP handle this case because doctors have frequent face to face encounters with patients daily. Having taken a class in interpersonal communication as an undergraduate , my class was very focused on rapport between doctors and patients, and how doctors want to see as many patients as possible for the economical gains. It would be known that a stuttering doctor could not talk fast and fluent, so this poses a tricky questions. I am interested others responses. Thanks! ASR
