The "C" word referred to here is "cure." As an SLP, if a teen client were to ask "can you cure me?" what would your answer be? Would it be the same answer for an adult client? There seems to be a fine living between offering hope to the person who stutters and being totally candid. A young person might not understand the subtle difference between "cure" and "overcome." However, an adult who has struggled with therapy for years might appreciate the reality of the word "overcome." I'm curious how today's training for SLPs addresses this subject.
