Hi, I am a grad student and I enjoyed reading your paper and appreciated the suggestions you gave. My question is related to dealing with different cultures. One of the points you discussed, was telling the client that it is not their fault, or anyones fault that they stutter. What would be your suggestion with dealing with varies culture groups specifically from a traditional background who have certain beliefs or myths of the cause and/or cure of stuttering? How would you address this with the family or client while still being sensitive to their beliefs or attitudes towards stuttering. Have you ever had to deal with this? Thank you.
