Audrey - You ask a terrific question to the Professors; I am not on the expert professor's panel, but I am moved to answer your question. In my most truly humble opinion - In all of my 31 years of working with children who stutter and their parents, I have found the single most effective "technique" is the profound - and acquired - attitude of IDGAS regarding stuttering. It "flies in the face" of what are considered by many to be traditional "techniques". This attitude is extremely difficult for CWS/TWS and their parents to acquire; as well, it is extremely difficult for professionals to assist CWS/TWS and their parents in acquiring. yet when it is mastered by a child/teen who stutters and is embraced by their parents, true IDGAS regarding stuttering offers tremendous freedom to speak and interact...even if you do stutter! Best regards to you in your future as an SLP!
