I've met many knowledgeable and dedicated SLPs. I've also met many who work in the public school system but know very little about treating stuttering. If I had a child who stuttered I wouldn't allow a school SLP near the kid. The token fluency shaping that these therapists do result only in the raising of false hopes in the children and those who love them. If someone feels or is unqualified to treat stuttering they shouldn't do it. I'm qualified to drive a car but not a cement truck or a semi-trailer. A similar class system couple should be applied to SLPs. What is preventing this?
