Many speech pathologists (many have not taken a class on stuttering) feel threatened by people who stutter (they don't listen to PWS). They just think technique technique technique, I just need to teach the person some prolongation strategies and I did my job. Many SLPs think stuttering is bad and no stuttering is good, so kids or adults just avoid stuttering to make the SLPs feel better or don't get criticized by the SLPs. Many people who stutter and their families have been frustrated with 99% of the SLPs out there. Do you (the "experts") think/know it is that bad. How come no one replied to Tom Weidig's question? Why are SLPs against medication for the treatment of stuttering, or the SpeechEasy. Is it money and or jealousy? What about helping people who stutter and children who stutter? Weidig asked: "Why does no-one answer the questions on Lidcombe, Pagoclone, or Speech Easy??" How can a SLP who have no training (not one class on stuttering) be qualified to treat stuttering? This is medical malpractice? right??
