I think that going to SLP is different that going to see a Doctor. A lot of stutterers don't believe that there is treatment to their problem,and when the treatment doesn't work they give up. Also they don't have friends that will recommended about good SLP,and also when they hear about one ,it could be that the specific treatment don't fit to their stuttering . Several parents asked me who therapist I recommended to treat their child ? and my answer was depending the stuttering kind. And sometime i recommended that he will start with one therapist,and after it he will continue with another approach. I think that stuttering can be so hard,and we don't need to go from therapist to therapist until we find the right one. With doctors also i usually happy with them,and i don't need to meet ten doctors to chose the right one for me. For my opinion only SLP that understand all the aspects of stuttering ,have the right to treat stuttering . Thanks for your reply geashono@gmail.com Ari
