I do believe that direct and honest speech helps individuals who stutter to be more honest with themselves. When do you feel is the best time for SLP’s to present the Fluency Challenge to their clients? Do you suggest that SLP’s do away with using the term “fluency”? Every person interprets the word differently. It is important to recognize their meaning of fluency in order to help PWS to reach their goals. However, it does seem as though many individuals who stutter (as well as speech therapists) get so caught up on the term that they often stray away from their true communicative goals.
