Why don't more Speech therapists in stuttering teach clients to improve their overall communication skills? It seems some SLPs are afraid to go beyond stuttering reduction and is only comfortable with telling clients to practice and "use your techniques", why is that? Because........ If the stuttering is already mild, and less than 1-2%. Shouldn't the focus be on improving overall communication skills? And how about helping the client improve her/his quality of life, rather than focusing on learning techniques and reducing Thank you. Gerald
