Hi, Thank you for responding. Yes, this often happens with older children and then, the day arrives and they will have a need and want to work on their speech. Needs can be: calling a girl, getting interviewed for college, applying for a first job, etc. What I would do with a student like this is to back away from fluency tools and focus on advertising and/or entering his feared speaking situations. Someday, those situations could become monsters and then, the more he avoids them, the more he will stutter. Please send me an email to jjjudithe@msn.com and I will send you the Stuttering Survey and some additional files that will give you ideas for therapy. Also, connecting the child and his family to the NSA Family Program is most important. J-J-Judith
